Hello!
This is my first post here, so i'll try to make a good first impression
As stated above in the "topic" i'm building a digital audio workstation (DAW) that will be runing Logic Pro+Native instruments Komplete 8 and some other VSTs. The rig will be used only for music production and nothing else. After going through the buyers guide i've decided for the following components and i would like to hear your opinion before i make the final move.
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H
CPU: i7 3770
GPU: I guess the onboard HD4000 will do the job?
System disk: Samsung 840 500gb or 830 512gb. Im still deciding on this one. The 830s are suposed to be better and more reliable than the "non Pro" 840 version. This would be my primary disk where i would have OSX installed and all of the software that i need; Logic+Komplete+VSTs.
Storage disk: Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 - 1TB 64MB SATA3 - 6Gb/s
RAM:Corsair Vengance 2x8gb 1600mhz cl9
Power supply: Im not sure how much power i need+do i have to pick a Corsair PS? Corsair builder series CX 500 v2
Case: Im looking for something cheap so if u have any good sugestions i would be happy to hear them.
Im still deciding on the size of the monitor that i'll buy. I'll probably go for the 27inch. Do i have to be careful about anything in this specific region?
My soundcard is probably going to be the first version of the Apogee Duet. My budget is around 250€ for this...so i'm lookin for something in this range.
Cheers,Nordik
