Music production pc

Go to solution Solved by NinJake,

Just get 32gb or more RAM and a 500gb-1tb SSD (save your DAW and VST's here), then depending where you save your files you might want a large 1tb+ HDD for saving your music to. You don't really need a graphics card but you could always get something like a 2060 to have dedicated graphics. (Might be useful depending on what resolution your monitor is or will be.. or multiple monitors)

 

Also make sure you get another processor cooling solution because the stock heatsink that comes with the i7-8700 is not that great. Even a 212 evo will provide better cooling for minimal cost.
