Audio recording/light gaming PC

[lukmen]

Hi guys,
So I made this build and I wanna know what you think and maybe you have some advise. The PC will be mainly used to work with DAW, recording and mixing. I do videos from time to time but nothing really drastic. I do game but only games like LOL. I will buy additional HDD and upgrade GPU in the future so I wanna get the basic stuff first.

This is $30 more than your previous build but I aimed for a better looking and more functional case and a hard drive.

No reason to go Broadwell-E mostly because it's not a great overclocker. If you insist on a 750 Ti, I'd go MSI for it.

Is Audio Recording/Audio Production really that demanding that it warrants spending more for X99?
