new PC setup - thoughts?

[john interlock]

Hi guys,
I thought I would ask here as you're more likely to know than me

I'm shortly going to be completely updating my PC with a midrange scope card at it's hub. Could I have opinions on setups that wouldn't have any compatability issues?

I've no problem buying individual parts
I'm not looking for things like monitors / keyboards, only internal hardware
I guess I'm looking at £400 or so to spend, but there may be a git of give in that amount...

Thank you!

it depends what you currently have.maybe you have parts can you re-use? optical, power supply etc?

well, to be honest I'd rather start from scratch. My previous setup was incredibly backwards as it was designed to use both the Pulsar and the Korg Oasys cards in the same machine. a diffulcult task.

So, consider this a build from the floor up. (though as I said, don't worry about monitors, mice, and dvd drives)

I guess that leaves us with
CPU
PSU
Motherboard
memory
case

I think that about covers it. Oh, would be good if they were all as silent as possible.

Thanks!

do you need a motherboard with built in video or do you have a PCI-e video card.

I'd like to use 2 outputs (for two seperate monitors) at least one with digital, so I imagine a seperate video card would be of use...

So I guess include that in the list, haha...

Thanks

probably,

£400 just a starting figure though, could be more with the right system
