| If all you want to do with your computer is send MIDI to your external hardware and record their sound, simply ANY computer in today's market is capable of doing so.
First thing, make a decision which software you want to use.
Second thing, make a decision which OS, usually Mac vs. Windows: get the OS that supports your software best, and if both support your software, get a Mac if you have enough money, or get Windows if you can live with (usually slightly) less stablilty.
Third thing, study the system requirements of your software and buy your hardware accordingly. Spare power may be desirable if you are not sure what you will fall in love with in the near future (important point for us Gear slutz BTW). Spare power also costs you extra money which may be a good idea to save for a future when hardware is cheaper or/and better.
Just my thoughts. Good luck, Thomas
