So I ordered a PC from HP a month ago & It still hasnt arrived(huge labor day sale). I got a pretty nice deal. I am getting
Skylake 6700k (can't overclock)
12 GB ddr4 Ram (8GB + 4GB) No Dual Channel
GTX 970
2TB 7200 Sata HDD + 120GB SSD
All for $888(After Tax)
If i get HP i am not sure if I will be able to overclock, Have USB 3.1 & M.2 Sata etc
If I build on my own I can get :
5820k (Will only overclock to 3.7)
16GB of ram in Dual Channel
1TB Hybrid Hard Drive + 120GB SSD
Gtx 960
Will Have USB 3.1, M.2 Sata, ability to overclock.
Will Cost $1000 ($112 More)
My primary purpose for the machine is to do Music Studio Work, Audio Engineering, Audio Processing.
My secondary purpose is some casual 1080p gaming.
Which one is better for my needs?
I'm having a hard time making a decisions on which will be better for my needs & if spending the extra $112 is actually worth it.
