Hi guys, I'm looking to get a new machine after 6 years using my old MacBook Pro.
I have built an initial spec which i have included below but it would be great to get some advice if there are any tweaks / edits that people think i should make to improve / optimise the machine. (I have a proper sound treated studio so the tower have to be very quiet)
I'm going to be using this for advanced music production on Ableton Live overloaded with VST plug ins + hardware.
Please let me know if you think I'm over spending or missing something that should be included.
