Building a new PC around an E-MU 1820M ? Advice needed

Didnt mention case, power supply, Ram, HDDs, cooling, as there are enough examples in this sub-forum, of successful setups regarding those components.

Hi,

I built this system in September and my system flies and is very stable.

1 x Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H 890GX Socket AM3 HDMI DVI VGA Out 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard 197546 Invoiced Track £74.74 £74.74

1 x AMD Phenom II X6 Black Edition 1090T 3.2GHz Socket AM3 9MB Cache 125W Retail Boxed Processor 204933 Invoiced Track £116.75 £116.75

1 x Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600Mhz CL9 1.5V Non-ECC Unbuffered 248846 Invoiced Track £39.18 £39.18

hope this helps

I would also say that the AMD chip that I got is a better value product that buying an i7

PassMark - AMD Phenom II X6 1090T - Price performance comparison

performance wise it still delivers the good. I use cubase 6 64 bit, Komplete 8 ultimate, alloy ozone on big projects and it works flawlessly!

I would think about the cost, is paying extra going to be worth it at the end of the day?

P.P

I can also play all the current games no problem as well!

Glad to know your system and 1820m is working great!
