Cupe Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 you won't need a quadcoreyou can always opt for smaller internal hdd's to get larger external4 gig of ram is plentyyou need a heaps fucking good soundcard if you're going to use it for music, graphics cards that good are useless unless you're going to game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJsYnx Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Yes a good sound card is a big one. You should also look at an additional hard drive if you plan on doing any real production or recording. The reason for this is that you can have your opperating system running on one hard drive and record independently on the other. Anyone who is properly into production and remixing will do this.As for the price, it seems a tad expensive, have you looked on online computer stores? or thought about buying the parts individually and building the computer yourself, it's alot cheaper doing it that way.Hope this helps,Drew.
