Can you steer me towards some sensible prebuilt pcs?

To be open, I have a decent i7 3820 I built in 2014. Since day 1, I have been struggling with reliability and never being able to pass the Latencymon tests. That's why I want to sell what I have and start over fresh.

Hi All, It's been years since I've posted. I've been a member here forever. The last time I built a recording PC was about 10 years ago. I'm quite outdated on the technology and need some help. I'm trying to strike a balance between cost and having something future proofed. Any specifics...

Unfortunately the MOTU is way out of my price range. It's really sad, nothing wrong with the 2496. It's absolutely the most reliable and trouble free piece of computer hardware I have ever owned. Wish high end MOBO's offered PCI!

I'm building a new computer and it seems most new modern Motherboards have only PCI-express. So I'm forced to retire my trusty M-Audio 2496. Any suggestions what I should replace it with?

I currently have Sonar 4 and was thinking of getting a newer sonar version. I do some basic home recording. Nothing fancy. Any suggestions on which Sonar I should get or if I should just stick with Sonar 4?
