I`m looking to build a machine that can handle Cubase. I`m looking to use the Scarlett Focusrite 6i6 as an interface. I guess if anyone can give me some spec insight, that would be great.
Nah, I`m looking to start from scratch. Building a windows machine. I figured a 64x motherboard, i7 processor, 16gigs of ram to get it started. 1 120gig ssd drive for the OS and software, plus a 1tb drive for storage. I`ve just heard from a buddy that his machine blue screens on him every so often. Maybe because he`s running things that call for to many resources.. I`m looking to use Cubase 7.5 (latest). Its really just for recording guitars, bass, and vocals. Then look into something to program the drums.
Which AMD processor are you using? I`ve been cringing at those i7 prices lol.
The vishera series AMD's are supposed to be fabulous. Pick a price point for quad, hex and even oct-core processor. Lots of power there for the $80-150 range.
"FX 6300 Black With an Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 MOBO because it was listed together (I am not PC smart enough to mate a MOBO and a PROC!) .

This is exceptional advice. Buying a paired MB and CPU will give you a matched set AND more than likely save you a few $.
