Music Suite Build

[Abes33]

Hey chaps hope you're all having a grand Christmas.

A friend is looking in to getting a computer to use for his music production. He needs the ability to hook it up with his instruments/mics in conjunction with programs such as Adobe Audition and Ableton. I can build it for him but am out of touch with the optimal spec for this situation.

Buget is £400, is it possible to create a system that can handle this kind of work with ease with so little money?

Right, back to watching Final Destination 3 on T.V., terrible film but the death scenes are really horrific so far!

Thanks for the responses, much appreciated.

I initially thought the £400 was for the core system, just found out he needs the whole lot damnit. Budget's obviously gonna have to raise a bit. As suggested I'll make Sound Card/RAM/Processor priorities, everything else just good enough to stop major bottlenecking.

@MikeHunt79: Thanks for the card suggestion, he's happy with just the one input if so. Lazy question but, in a situation where he only had one input, are there external solutions for multiple inputs in the future? More importantly would these have en effect on quality of input at all?
