Hello everyone, I posted here awhile ago asking for some advice. I finally got a chance to look through what everyone told me and this is the build I came up with.

Here is what I need the computer to do: I need a fairly powerful rig that can run a 40+ track sessions in Logic and handle multiple large sample libraries running at once while other softwares are open, like Sibelius (which is what I use to compose in)

I will not be using the computer for gaming, but noteheads on notation software are pretty detailed. I imagine that 1080p would be capable but it would need to be able to power 2, maybe 3 three monitors at one.

I will also need to install El Capitan OS onto it.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions before I go through with this purchase.

Thank you
