Hi all

Following the great success of the 500 build I did on here I'd like some more help!

I'm building a rig for music production, and also gaming (FPS etc, so decent performance needed). I also need to be able to run Ableton live as smoothly as possible. Dual monitor support would be awesome too.

Need a copy of windows 10 so that'll be in the 1000. Don't need any peripherals at the moment.

Is it possible to future proof this for 4k?

Thank you in advance!
 
Something like this? I'm not sure whether you would prefer a better CPU or GPU but this is using the i5 with a 1070, you could swap to an i7 and something like a 1060 3gb for a little bit cheaper.

For the storage by default I tend to put a 250gb SSD and a 1TB HDD as that's my personal setup, you could just go for a 500gb SSD but obviously it depends on how much space you'll need.
 
I would say it'd decent for the price, if you did want to build it yourself it may be slightly cheaper but then you wouldn't get our system warranty and we QC the system before it leaves to make sure there's no faults at all.

i7 + 1060 - If more music production

i5 + 1070 - If used more for gaming

Exactly, it is a little bit cheaper going for the i7 and the 1060 but it's completely up to you which takes priority.
