I am thinking about building a PC oriented towards music production. My current desktop is 10 years old this month and is due to be replaced. Had been considering a Mac Studio but I am having second thoughts given the significant price difference and Apple’s expensive storage upgrades.

I use Ableton Live 10 for my DAW. I have a Scarlett 4i4 audio interface, so no need to add any sound card to the build.

Going for a microATX build to save on physical space. Will also likely add another case fan somewhere. No Windows 11 license listed but I intend to get one. GPU is more for any light video editing or Photoshop I might do, not planning to do much of any gaming.

Any suggestions for improvement on this part list or any thoughts in general?

      I doubt it, hardcore gamers are probably dropping a five grand on the newest 6969 TI special mountain dew edition nvidia card with 8 terrabytes of ram

        Naw, Gamer’s Nexus reviewed that and called it a “waste of sand”, the RX420XX18GB is the shit to have these days
