What is important in a music production pc

[cl4nk]

What parts are important for music production in a pc? I'm building a gaming pc but am wondering if I should get anything specific my music production. I bought a gtx 1070 Ti for the 10 minutes that it was actually $450 a while back and right now am just planning to get 16gb ram and an i7-8700k

Actual musical skill and an ear for it. Decent headphones also help.

That helped about 0%

I think you'll be more than okay. Core count and ram are probably the most important things and you seem fine on both fronts. I've worked with less

You might need to consider a external sound card if the motherboard has too much electrical noise(causes buzzing). You should judge for yourself and test if you notice anything first before committing though.

You don't need much for audio software, maybe 16GBs of RAM at most? Should sell the 1070ti for like $700+ and just build a sub $500 R3 2200G system which will do alright 1080p gaming and give you a decent upgrade path.

You probably don't need an 8700K in any event.

This got nothing to do with music producing.

Buy a good DAC / sound card + a couple of good monitors (speakers) like KRK.

A good over ear headphones from senheisser or sony and A mini 24 key midi controller.

 

Personally i never buy a dac or a serious monitors as i done most of my editing with headphones.

But since you asked. this is what i recommend if you're into audio editing.

That is essentially the basic tools that many of my audio engineer friend have on their desk.

I believe that the 1070 Ti is for gaming being that it was referred to as a gaming pc
