Hi All,
I'm looking for a bit of advise please, I'm new around these parts, so if this is in the wrong section please point me in the right direction....
So its that time of year when I've got a Christmas bonus coming. I built this system 10 years ago based around a I5-3470 running at 3.6) and even though it works still fairly well with my DAW of choice Reason 11, it has become really slow - instead of reformatting, I'm going to take the plunge and build a new one.
So, the case I've got is a really nice ATXm Thermal Take Armor A30...so this limits what MB I can use.
Budget is around £5-600.
From a CPU point of view I'm thinking of going AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (cooling via a Noctua NH-L12S).
Motherbaord MSI B450M Motor, with 16 GB of G Skill or Corsair 16 GB 3200 CL16.
1TB SSD, PSU (No idea).
I'll have to get a GPU, but nothing powerful as just use this PC for Music, surfing and streaming from YouTube on a 55 inch TV.
I also need an External USB audio device to input an outboard synth.
I'll be running Windows 10.
Am I missing anything, going in the right direction? I've not built a PC for the last 10 years, so I've been out of the whole components scene. I do like this case, but it maybe better to get a different one (the A30 is great as I have very limited space - this has worked a treat).
Thanks
Jon.
