Hello,

So I want to build a workstation and I need some recomendations for the parts of the build. I am primarily going to use this for music production but I will use this for certain other uses such as photo editing, animation, the occasional dabble in video editing and coding and development but I will not be gaming. I am also gonna be running a few VMs (Not at the same time, though). My budget for this build is ~600-800 USD. I will be adding to this post as parts get recommended. So Thanks.

Parts:

It’s the next one. Always the next step, Dalinar."

If you think I'm wrong, correct me. If I've offended you in some way tell me what it is and how I can correct it. I want to learn, and along the way one can make mistakes; Being wrong helps you learn what's right.

Hmm, this is a great build but that's a very high price on the PSU and Motherboard. Another reason for waiting, along with the availability of new parts and deep discounting of current hardware.

agreed, PSU and mobo prices are not in the best conditions right now.

Thanks. I didn't expect anyone to come up with a pc partpicker list. Though I suppose I will wait.
