Hey guys. Bought my new pc on Thursday. I am mightily impressed. I finished
loading and installing everything today and I just ran my first samplitude
project. Wow! This thing really goes. I loaded my largest project wich needs
about 10 gb of ram to run properly and I have my saffire pro 14 set at short
firewire latency and a buffer size of 256. Not even one little hiccup. I am
just writing this mail to share my new pc specs with you guys. About 6
months research has gone in to this pc build and I'm truly satisfied with
the end result. The specs are:
Coolermaster RC-652-KKN1 Silencio 652 ATX Desktop Chassis
FSP Hyper S 600W 80 Plus Certified Desktop Power Supply
Gigabyte Z270 Gaming K3 LGA1151 Intel Z270 Kaby Lake ATX Desktop Motherboard
Intel i7-7700 3.6 GHz Quad Core 14nm Kaby Lake Socket LGA1151 Desktop CPU
G.Skill F4-2400C15D-32GVR Ripjaws 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 2400MHz CL15 1.20V
Desktop Memory
System Drive: Samsung 960 EVO 500GB NVMe M.2 PCI-Express 3.0 x4 Solid State
Drive
Samples Drive: Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM006 2TB 7200RPM SATA III 64MB Cache
3.5" Internal Hard Drive
Project Drive: Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM010 1TB SATA III 7200RPM 64MB Cache
3.5" Internal Hard Drive - OEM
LG GH24NSD0 Internal SATA 24x Super-Multi DVD Rewriter - OEM
I also had them build a siig firewire card in to the machine and I also kept
my old ssd/hybrid Seagate drive wich I now use as a general storage drive
Yes there might be some parts wich I could have replaced with others but I
also had cost in mind and after weighing up everything this was the build I
came up with. I want to thank everyone who gave advice and suggestions. A
special thanks to my friend Can Kirca for your excilent advice. Now it's
back to testing samplitude and most of all making and producing music.
Cheers
Len Viljoen
