Hello chaps, pretty simple question.
At the moment I'm running on an ancient computer that wheezes dust and prays for me to put it out of its misery. It's outlasted my previous attempt at a DAW (which, stupidly, consisted of a cheap fujitsu computer with my EMU 1616m whacked in there).
Looking through the forums and the online shop I had tentatively settled on this spec:
Intel Core i5 760 2.80GHz (Lynnfield)
Sapphire ATI Radeon 5770
Asus P7P55D-E Intel P55 Mobo
4GB of Corsair Dominator memory
OCZ Pro 600w Silent SLI
Antec 300
Samsung Spinpoint 1TB
But I wouldn't mind a second opinion.
The computer will primarily function as a workstation for Reason 4 and Audition, with occasional forays into CorelDraw and perhaps a naughty bit of Diablo III when it comes out to destroy my productivity.
My budget isn't vast, as I am still saving money to get this, but I would appreciate any recommendations that won't render the machine obsolete if I decide to migrate to Windows 7 over the next few years.
