Need Help Choosing Parts
Hi PC Building Family,
I’m new to building a PC, and any help would be much appreciated! I’ve done a bit research, but I’m still a little over my head picking out parts.
I am unable to share links in the community since I am a new member, but I put a list of all the parts at the bottom of this post.
What my questions are:
-Are all these parts compatible?
-CPUs: the video specifications for the motherboard say: “Onboard Graphic Chipset -
Requires CPU with Integrated Graphics”. Are these CPUs compatible?
-Audio card: I will most likely be using an audio interface for recording/editing. Will I even need an audio card?
-Are all of the parts here even necessary at all with this motherboard? I’m not sure I even need some of these parts since the motherboard may cover it for m (e.g. do I need a graphics card, or an audio card? Consider me an ignoramus)
My main concern is compatibility of parts, which I’m a little nervous about before making any purchases. Are all the parts in this list compatible?
What I will mainly be using the computer for:
-Serious audio production/editing
-Video editing
-High quality live-streaming (audio is the most important as I am a musician)
What I'm looking for in the computer
I’m looking to build a high-performing, quality machine that will last me a long time, and price is not a major factor. Things that are important to me are:
-High processing power: 1. Works quickly 2. Can handle several intensive programs simultaneously without crashing 3. Can handle such intensive work over a long period of time without overheating/crashing.
-Tons of memory
I’m not a serious gamer or anything, so graphics aren’t super important to me, but I would like to be able to edit high quality videos. I understand that everything I chose is somewhat overkill for my needs, which I’m fine with, but is there anything ridiculously overkill that won’t make a difference for me? If so, I’m fine to go with a more affordable option, but I don’t want to have to worry about anything being sub-par.
Any help or insights that you all might have would be very deeply appreciated. Thank you!
