Need advice for music creation PC
Hi,
my cousin is looking to start creating his own electronic music and needs a new PC. I've offered to build it for him. His budget is about $600-700 including everything but the monitor(s).
Haven't really built a PC in a couple years but it seems like you get much better value out of certain store bought PCs on the low end. Was just looking at some machines at Canada Computers and I think I'd have a really tough time beating their prices, especially if we're talking about including a Windows 7 license.
So I'm looking for advice on low end builds or pre-built computers. I've always been an Intel guy but I'm guessing AMD might make more sense at the low end. Need at least a pretty fast dual core box, 4gb RAM+. I'm guessing he needs to budget at least $100 for a good sound card, definitely need some recommendations there. Video card is probably a lot less important and he can get away with an onboard solution.
Thanks,
Adrian
