Hey everyone,
I know this is a very open question and you can pour thousands of pounds/dollars on creating a super crazy PC and after a week there will be new stuff. To tackle this I thought the best way is to set a budget in mind but I thought I will seek your expertise in compromising few aspects and boosting others.

For a budget of £1000 - £1500, what would you get? I do not play games on PC so having a Geforce Invidia card for 500 pounds is not my choice.

I use Kontakt heavily with big libraries in my DAW so I know I would focus on SSD and RAM but what about processors?
Can you please advise,
Apologies if there is an open thread about this that I have missed.

Hi,
I just saw this, so please don't mind for the late answer.
Give us a little info about you. How much storage space you need, at least approximately. Do you need display monitor(s) as well? Who will be building this pc of yours. Also, where will you buy those components from. Because, although the pound has plummeted to 1.08 euro, when i compare my buying list from my local EU dealers with UK's famous e-shop Scan UK (scan.co.uk), the same components list is quite more expensive over there. 1650 euros (~1500 pounds) here vs 1750 pounds (~1900 euros) from Scan UK. I didn't try amazon uk tbh.
Cheers

Dani did some work for you, but why you would need 1500 just for the tower is ridiculous

 

OK here ya go buy a used Dell 9010 9020 for a $100 canadian it has an i7 dump the HD and buy 2 used SD 250 gigs is fine
thats is all you need for your bedroom projects Yes is gen 4 but it works well

if you are rich like me then buy 4 severs and link them one for efx one for storage one for porn and one for I ran out.....
