Music PC - New Build specs - feedback


Recommended Posts

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.

Just go with it.  I like those low watt AMD CPUs.

These thread often come with 1600 suggestions.

"well you wont be able to have 200 tracks" kinda stuff

It depends on what you want to do with it.  

I often wonder if the boards is the built in wifi any good.
