I am thinking about building a PC oriented towards music production. My current desktop is 10 years old this month and is due to be replaced. Had been considering a Mac Studio but I am having second thoughts given the significant price difference and Apple’s expensive storage upgrades.

I use Ableton Live 10 for my DAW. I have a Scarlett 4i4 audio interface, so no need to add any sound card to the build.

Going for a microATX build to save on physical space. Will also likely add another case fan somewhere. No Windows 11 license listed but I intend to get one. GPU is more for any light video editing or Photoshop I might do, not planning to do much of any gaming.

Any suggestions for improvement on this part list or any thoughts in general?

    I might look into those drives. I was looking at it from more of a price to storage total. I see your point.

    Might go for lower wattage seeing as I could save some money and the overhead is quite high.

    USB card is for all the USB devices I have for music production. MIDI controllers, audio interface, USB connections to synths, plus other devices. Will pay attention to the PCIe lanes.

    I was considering the 6000 ram too.
