First off Hello guys! 🙂 I would like to start off by saying this is my first post I am very new to the topic of computer hardware and apologize in advanced for being a noob but I will try my best to not be a total noob. I am also a budding audio engineer and have recently began learning how to mix music. I have decided it would be best for me to to start looking in to getting a computer.
This is what I have now: (I understand it is horrible.)
Manufactuer: Hewlett-Packard Company
Model: p6243w
Processor: AMD Sempron(tm) Processor LE-1200 2.10
Installed Memory: 3.00 (2.87 usable)
System Type: 64 Bit
I will use this template from the stickies to make things easier.
1. What YOUR PC will be used for:
As I said music producing, recording music, mixing, using CPU intensive audio plugins, using the internet of course, not much gaming (I do very little PC gaming and when I do its old or simple stuff like Baldur's Gate or Minecraft)
2. What YOUR budget is:
500$ (USD) Give or take a few.
3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from:
'Murica 😀 (USA)
4. IF you're buying parts OUTSIDE the US, please post a link to the vendor you'll be buying from:
I'm planning on staying in America.
5. IF YOU have a brand preference:
Only preferences I have is PC opposed to Mac, because some of the software I will use is PC only. As as other brand stuff like Nividia and all that, nope not a fanboy of anything.
6. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are:
I don't think so, I guess my monitor; HP 2009m.
7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds:
Default.
8. What resolution, not monitor size, will you be using:
I honestly don't know. I guess whatever is average if there is an average, sorry 🙁
9. WHEN do you plan to build it?:
Well, not in a hurry I can wait.
X. Do you need to purchase any software to go with the system, such as Windows or Blu Ray playback software?:
Not that I know of, I mean besides the little bit of Audio stuff I have. Windows I guess but I didn't know you had to buy that.
Ok, hopefully I helped. Like I said still a beginner but I'm trying. Thanks in advanced for any advice and I will be glad to help with any further details.
I was told this:
"Get a quality power supply, motherboard, and CPU, and a good amount (8+) gigs of RAM and you'll be good to go for quite some time."
and that I didn't need an extreme graphics card. I also don't need to worry about an upgraded soundcard or speakers.
