I've decided to buy a new PC.
It needs to be quiet, and be powerful enough for my home recording (PODxt -> ProFire 610). At the moment I have some old Xeons (3.06GHz) with 2GB of RAM, and if I try to use POD farm + Superior 2.0 then it struggles
Here's the spec I have so far:
- Intel Core i7 920 D0 2.66GHz
- ASUS P6T Deluxe V2
- Corsair 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz XMS3 Dominator Memory
- Antec P183 Case
- Antec CP-850 850W Modular PSU
- Western Digital WD3000HLFS 300GB Hard Drive
This comes to about ~£900. I do want to get a nice graphics card too so I will probably stretch to £1,100.
Should I consider getting a higher CPU? Or more RAM?
Any thoughts?
