TracingArcs Posted yesterday at 01:28 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:28 PM So, I would like to have a new Music PC. My old one I feel is lacking in a few places (it is 5+ years old, and a mishmash of old parts some going bacl to 2011). I have decided after always using Intel that I can get a fairly decent Ryzen CPU for a decent price. And it seems Ryzen are now settled and comparable to Intel for music production. Spec : Case : bequiet Pure Base 501 MOBO : Asus TUF gaming B650E wifi (though I will not be using wifi I have a cat 7 cable access) CPU : Ryzen 7 7700 8 core/16 thread 3.8 - 5.3GHz turbo 65w (using integrated graphics i don't game) Cooler : be quiet Pure rock 2 RAM : 32Gb (2x16gb) Corsair DDR5 Vemngeance 5600MHz PSU : be quiet Pure Power 12M 80 Plus Gold OS drive : 1TB WD Blue SN5000 NVMe PCIe 4.0 Storage : 2TB WD Blue SN5000 NVMe PCIe 4.0 Plus I have 2x 1TB of Crucial MX500 ssd from the old system I will also use in this build OS : W11 Home (I have always used home versions of windows and am unsure if pro would be a benefit) All this would be approx £1025. Considering I paid more than that in 2011 for an i3- 540/4gb system in 2011. Seems to be fair-ish. I could have an Intel system built around and i5-14600K for about £150 more.But the Intel history lately has made me think. And Ryzen seem on a par and work with Sonar/Cakewalk. Any feed back appreciated. It's a simple build but capable I feel. I do not game it is purely for music creation. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
