Hello guys, i'm planing on doing a build here in about a week or 2 so i will need some advise from the form if that's ok.
i want to do this for my home music studio, time to upgrade to a power computer. Im currently ruining win7 on a 2core p w/ 4gb of ram computer.
At one point it was ok but now it is not, i have major programs, lots of sounds and major mixing that it just cant handle it.
I want to be running Mountain lion, and win7 dual boot. planing on getting (2 1TB) and (2 120GB SSD) 1 and 1 for each operating system.
On win7 i will be running vst and mainly FL Studio, on apple i want to run logic and Pro Tools 8 (vocals and mixing) (10 very soon).
During my research, this is what i came up with and i think the total build is under $1600. Now most of the stuff here came out of the suggested builds by
the site, but i changed some little thing so i want to be extra sure about my parts.
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD5H LGA 1155 Intel Z77
case: Fractal Design Define XL Black Pearl w/ USB 3.0 ATX Full Tower Silent PC Computer Case
Ram: Corsair Vengeance 32GB (4X8GB) 1600MHZ DDR3 Memory
Cooler: CORSAIR CWCH60 Hydro Series H60
Processor: Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo)
Power supply: CORSAIR Professional Series CMPSU-650HX 650W
Video card: EVGA 02G-P4-2645-KR GeForce GT 640 2GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express
Drives: Sony Optiarc 24X DVD Burner
Hard drive: (2x) Seagate Barracuda
SSD: SanDisk Extreme SSD 120 GB
Anything else i will be needing? i know (Mountain lion, flash drive and stuff) but part wise? would this work great for what i want it to do?,
will the Fire-wire and USB connection work fine in this motherboard, so that i can connect my mbox, keyboards etc?
thank you, and i hope i made some sense. Sorry if my writing is hard to understand.
