Firts time poster looking for some feedback. I am converting from Mac and Logic. I plan to keep them around for alternatives etc, but I want to build a PC for use with other programs such as, FL Studio, Pro Tools Express etc. I have compiled this list of parts from pcpartpicker.com. I was wondering if someone could take a peak and see where I can trim some costs. For example, I have no idea if I even need a video card. I do not have a soundcard listed because I will be monitoring through my M-Audio M-Track. So bascally, is this everything I need, and do I have something on the list that I do not need. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
