i'm looking at building a new pc for recording. never done it before,..am sure to make some mistakes, but maybe with the help of some gear slutz i won't make too many.....haven't picked out the recording software yet, narrowed the dac down to a rme multiface, or a fireface400/800,...or maybe the digidesign 002....

i put together a list of items for the computer, wondering what ya'll think of the choices,...what you would do differently? what recording software and dac you would pair with this computer ? are there any glaring mismatches? or incompatibility issues with my potential dac's and the hardware i'm thinking about choosing? thanks a bunch GS's
