Basically I'm moving into a new place and converting the spare room into my own little studio for recording, production and sound design etc.


I've been using a MacBook Pro for the last 6 years and am looking to upgrade to a custom PC capable of running massive amounts of Audio Processing/PlugIns/Recording/Editing Software such as Pro-Tools, UAD, FL Studio, Ableton Live, Waves etc. without constantly crashing on me. Also looking to partition one of the drives to run Hackintosh so i can still use my old Logic projects


I'm a complete noob at this, have never built a PC before and not too knowledgable on how it would all work but what I'm planning on ordering is listed below. Would this work and what would be the best way to go about it?


Just need to know from anyone who knows their stuff if this is any good. What else I'll need, is the Soundcard suitable etc.


thanks in advance!
