Hi All,
I've recently Started to piece together some bits and pieces for a new build of which I am looking for advice upon!
The purpose of this build is for purely for audio production nothing more nothing less since the pc I'm using now will be for daily/internet usage...
what I have so far (with links) ...
Motherboard: Asus M4N68T
http://uk.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM3/M4N68T/
Graphics Card: Inno3D GeForce 8600GT
http://www.inno3d.com/products/graph...gf8/8600gt.htm
I do have a case, it's a fairly standard ATX Case, nothing fancy but hey.. it was 5 Quid, I'm not complaining :-D
The future purchases/decisions I currently have in mind are...
Psu... something like http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2504712363...84.m1423.l2649
Compatiable Quad Core processor (Phenom, Athlon etc)
3 HD's .. 1 for OS & DAW, 2 - Audio, 3 Samples
A minimum of 8GB Ram (the mobo can run upto 16gb) I would think to be suffice since I plan to use a rather large amount of samples/plug-ins such as Superior Drummer.
The OS of choice is W 7 64 bit, I plan to upgrade from cubase 5 > 6 for this reason.
I'm not sure about soundcard atm because I don't really know what my options are for the type of build i'm planning to create....
I do plan to purchase some Studio Monitors aswell which are likely to be the following...

Now without trying to be too vague or anything but, what I would like to know is peoples opinion's, tips & tricks, absolutely any advice at all you could give me as this is infact my first pc i plan to build myself rather then pay someone else to do it for me...
I apologise for the long post, but no doubt if there is anything i've missed or anything else you need to know to guide me on the ways of creating the most possible solid/stable pc please please fire away!! I'm here to learn :-D
