so im on pentium 4 with 1 gb ram for like 5 years now n i really need to upgrade i do Music Production/Recording
im not gonna overclock or game anything but its nice to have 6 cores since audio plugins are hungry for cpu
i need help with building the pc
here is what i had in mind
CPU = I7 980X
M.B = GIGABYTE X58A-UD5 or ASUS P6X58D Premium
Ram = 4gb or 6gb corsair [ i'll be running on 32 -bit but i might go with 64 bit with some apps , not all music apps are 64 bit yet ]
Graphic = 512 [ i dont do anything that needs more than this really ]
HDD = 320 Maxtor [ the one that i already got ] + 1TB Maxtor OR two 500GBMaxtors [ i dont know , is it possible to have 3 HDDs Internal? ]
& i dont know anything about what kinda power , cooler , or case i need for this kinda setup , again im not doing any OC but i really dont wanna risk it so im gonna need a good cpu fan & a good case for cooling
& another question i have , im gonna need 1 or 2 firewire ports for my audio gears & maybe 1 PCI slot so if there is another M.B that you can suggest , please do
i have about 2500 $ but
1.i dont wanna spend all of it even saving few bucks is worth it unless i really have to spend all of it
2.in my country things are overpriced for ex: i7 980 x is about 1250$
so maybe its good if you count it like i got about 1800 - 2000 $
Thanks
