Hello! I'm trying to build my first build mainly for audio production (I use pro-tools LE/ FL Studio/ Reason) but I also do a lot of HD video editing and photoshop editing.
I am really wanting a build that would be as quiet as possible for audio recording purposes.
My current build includes:
-MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-P55A-UD4P
-RAM: G.SKILL ECO Series 4GB (2 x 2GB)
-GRAPHICS: Gigabyte GTX 9800 Silent Cell
-CPU: Intel Core i7-860 2.8 GHz
-HDD: Samsung Spinpoint 1TB
-Cooler: Scythe Mugen 2
-Power: Corsair 650HX
-CD/DVD: Lite-on Cd/Dvd 24x Drive (already had spare drive)
Now I had created this list from research through this blog but my main questions were:
-is the graphics good enough? i know the GTX 260 is also highly recommended but I didn't know if I needed that. Also, are there any other better graphic cards you would recommend?
-is 4GB RAM enough?
-is my power supply good enough?
-I know the sony DVD drive is recommended because of the auto-sleep situation, but is it okay if i use lite-on (since I already had one laying around)?
Thank you for all the input and help! & I'm sorry for all the questions and concerns!
Thanks again!
