I know the GPU is a little weak, but it's mostly going to be used as a DAW with Pioneer Rekordbox and Ableton Live, so the fast disc access and decent sound card were more important. Gaming is a secondary "Nice to have", and the RGB stuff is just so it looks nice on my live streams! LOL!

If anyone has any suggestions as to what would be a good GPU to upgrade to in a few months (when my bank account has recovered from paying for this and a load of new DJ gear) please feel free to suggest one!

If you start using tons of plug-ins with Ableton you might eventually hit a wall with memory so going up to 32GB RAM could be a decent long term move. Fortunately, you can cross that bridge when you get to it (y)
 
I use about 6 different plugins for adding analogue sounding effects, reverb, flanger, etc.
The rest are synths, sample packs, and vocal tracks.

I think my drum machine plug in eats a lot of memory, that's about 1Gb on it's own with all the samples!
