Music Production and Gaming Rig Build on a budget

[Osairon]

The Radeon R9 390 should do pretty well in combination with the other parts, right? Since I mainly work with Cubase/Vsts, I probably would rather need to overclock the i7 5820K? Second question, if I put in two R9 390 and the costs would be similar to one overclocked Nvidia 980 Ti, would the latter be the preferable choice?

Yes. Simply because both Crossfire and SLI are plagued with issues like microstutters and badly optimized games. And you wouldn't have to worry about heat management and power draw.

Hey everyone,

so my Goals are twofold: The rig should be able to handle Cubase and a lot of VSTs loaded into Kontakt.

 

if you don't have cubase, you can buy the UR22 and get the artist version, so that's 100 euros, with a decent soundcard and a 2nd licence for cubase
