It's a bit more expensive, but it's rock solid.Īt least 1 Solid State drive, preferably 2. Kingston has been rock solid for me and that's all I even consider using anymore.įind some Kingston RAM that is not overclockable.

Pick one of those motherboards and download it's manual and see which Kingston RAM has been tested with that motherboard. They have a nice section of their site dedicated to this. When you pick out your CPU go to Intel's web site and see which motherboards have been tested with it.

S1 will work on those CPU's but not as well. There's internal software elements of CPU's that S1 takes advantage of that some older CPU's don't have. You'll be back in a few days after it's built wondering why Mai Tai is spiking your #1 CPU core causing dropouts and Melodyne is only using cores 3 and 4. I'm looking at the 5000 series for my next build but that puts you in to a different type of socket and it costs quite a bit more.ĭon't go building a brand new system around a 6 year old CPU please. I wouldn't consider anything below the Intel 4790K CPU now. Overclocking creates more heat, fans run more, case is more noisy, more unstable, and you void warranties. If you want to run your PC at blazing speeds, buy blazing fast RAM. I wouldn't build a PC with anything less than 16GB of Kingston RAM and an Nvidia video card with no less than 4GB of onboard memory with multi-monitor support.ĭAW's are all about stability. If you require more information on PC kit look here. I recommend you choose the components and have a friend help you build it if you're not into self build, other options are there but remember this would be factored into additional cost. Whatever you choose, remember there is a limit on how much your computer will handle whatever spec you choose. Look at other forum users signitures to get an idea of the specifics on gear. Any help would be greatly appreciated!Īny Quadcore based PC released in the past 6 years ( preferably Intel based), with at least 6 to 8 gigs of ram, ( ideally 16 gigs or more), Windows 7 64 bit, or higher and a 24 bit Audio Interface with low latency drivers (preferably an external unit as they give you greater flexibility). I'm about to buy a new PC, but need advice on what level to get to run these programs optimally. I have Studio One Professional 2, coupled with Melodyne Studio 4.
