Hi all
New to forums, first post! My configured PC below has been built and have had delivery. Very happy with it. As I am into music production and creating DJ mixes as my primary pass time, I wanted a relatively fast PC which was quiet first and foremost. Gaming was only secondary. Hence no water cooling or additional case fans. In addition to the below I added a Behringer UMC 404HD Audio Interface to use for studio quality sound input / output and recording, rather than using the on-board sound on the motherboard. I also purchased a graphics card elsewhere, as wanted the quietest mid range card I could get. Final spec was
