Hi everyone.
I had been planning a ready built system but realise that I really have to build it myself from scratch. I live in Oman at the moment and cant get stuff delivered here so I will have to take it as checked baggage from the UK.
Its not that I dont trust airline baggage handlers but.... I think it has got a better chance of surviving if I just carefully pack the individual components and assemble it here.
Ive never done this before but Im sure it will be useful experience.
Here are the parts I am looking at after some previous advice from the forum and a lot of searching.
Fractal Design Define Mini Series Micro ATX Case
Asus Z97M-PLUS Micro ATX Motherboard
Intel Core i5-4690K 3.50GHz (Devil's Canyon) Socket LGA1150 Processor
Noctua NH-U12S Ultra-Quiet Slim CPU Cooler with 120mm NF-F12 fan
Seasonic M12-II EVO 520W Bronze Power Supply Unit
16GB (2x8GB) Corsair DDR3 Vengeance Low Profile Jet Black, PC3-12800 (1600),
250GB Samsung 850 EVO 2.5" SATA 6Gbps 32 Layer 3D V-NAND Solid State Drive
1TB WD Blue WD10EZEX SATA III 6GB/s 7200rpm 64MB Cache 8ms
Windows 7 64 bit
UR44 interface already got this.
Probably a max of about 20 tracks, a few live guitar and vocals the rest mostly VSTIs, with plugins and the usual effects.
I am not planning to OC but thought it was useful to have the option in case, and CPU is same price.
Had most trouble deciding on PSU and CPU cooler.
Any advice on suitability of or better alternative components, or of any glaring ommisions would be great , at the moment it comes in at about £750 and I dont really want to go any higher.
All input is welcome, Im new to the game so hopefully the voices of experience will help guide me.
