I'm really wanting to build my own personal desktop for recording and would like to know every single thing that I would possibly need for it to run smoothly.
I planned on getting an Intel i7 processor (just to go "somewhat" all out) and at least 4 GBs of RAM, unless anybody would recommend 6? Also, I would like to use Windows 7... so would I have to buy that separately as well? (I have another laptop with it installed)
I already have external hard drives and firewire cards, ect. and could find any old monitor to use so the main thing I'm almost clueless about is what mother board, internal hard drive, video card (if necessary?), power supply, and what kind of case I would need, and if I'm missing out on any important things to build a computer?
