[Informations] - Choosing a new Professional DAW Machine (CME VX8 controller)
Hello, I'm going to buy a new PC (serious DAW usage) so that I can run as many VST/ plugins I can (EWQL Symphonic Orchestra, EWQL Symphonic Choir, GPO, VSL) without having glitches/fuzz/clicks/noise/etc (lowest latency possible).
Here are some info:
PC Usage:
- DVD Playback (Dolby Digital 5.1/DTS)
- Gaming (not very much)
- Track creations using big samples (much)
What I own/will buy:
- Windows XP Home Edition 32 Bit SP2
- Cubase SX3
- CME VX8 Keyboard
- Creative Gigaworks S750 7.1 (700W RMS)
- Creative DDTS-100 decoder
And here is a configuration I'm thinking about:
Motherboard: D975XBX2 Intel® 975X LGA775 ATX 200 €
Processor: INTEL CORE 2 QUAD Q6600 tray STEP G0 240 €
RAM: OCZ PLATINUM PC2 8000 2048MB 1000MHZ 2*200 €
Hard Disk: SEAGATE HD BARRACUDA 7200.11_500GB_SATA 300_32MB 2*100 €
Audio Card: Auzentech X-Meridian 7.1 200 €
Total 1240 €
N.B.: regarding the HD, I was thinking about a 500GB+500GB = 1 TB configuration (RAID 0 mode) where samples are stored, plus a 120 GB drive for the OS/Cubase.
Do you think is a good configuration?
Do you suggest me something else?
My budget is around 1200€.
Thank you!
