Thanks for taking a look at my post
So, I've done a bunch of research and I think I've been able to come with a successful build for under $700. My goal was to make a machine built specifically for mixing in Logic Pro using, for which I use a good chunk of Software Instruments.
Here is my build (for OS X 10.7.2):
GIGABYTE GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68
Intel Core i7-2600 Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz
Patriot Viper Xtreme Series, Division 2 Edition 8GB DDR3 PC3 12800 (cas8/1600mhz)
ZOTAC ZT-84GEM2M-HSL GeForce 8400 GS 512MB 64-bit DDR3 PCI-E 2.0
SYBA Model SD-PEX30009 1394b/a PCI-E2.0
WD 160GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s
MSI DVD Burner SATA Model DH-24AS
I will also be keeping all my recordings on an external FW drive to keep read speeds high and un-interfered with.
Any comments/ideas/criticisms? According to what I know, everything *should* be installable but please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks!
EDIT: GREAT SUCCESS! Here is my official build - viewtopic.php?f=54&t=48611
