is the 660/670 better? or is the 750 better, just not better enough to be worth more?
also is i bad that i got an I7? like whats the downside? bigger is better right?
same with ram, why would i get 8 gb, when i could get 32 in my pricerange?
i think the main point of confusion is that i stated i wanted a "gaming" pc, i really just wanted the best PC possible, keeping gaming in mind as well, but really just so i could play newish games on it
the main reason i wanted a new pc was more power
im getting the renaissance which uses the pc, its not standalone like other drum machines, i need the least amount of latency/buffer rate as possible to run with that. now triggering one sound is fine. even 16 different sounds on different pads, whatever, but when you get into running virtual instruments, which i don't do often since i sample, but if i want to i want the option, but word lets say im running a big VST plugin within the framework of the MPC software, that draws power, whether its ram, or the processor, or both, i dunno. but lets say thats just one sound. piano. then i have another plugin running, bass, another running strings. now lets run them through mixer channels where i have mixing plugins running over instrument plugins and etc
all this taxes the system and the buffer rate, with my pc now, i have to have insane buffer rates set, even with advances in audio shit like asio drivers and that
but basically if i hit play and live monitor a beat with a bunch of shit going on it can get crackly and buggy, because my pc is being taxed
granted for all i know an I5 and 8gb of ram would be enough. but is it bad i got i7 and 32?
and when i get sony vegas and make beatmaking videos and shit and i'm editing video and rendering shit, doesnt the power make all that work faster? if i do a simple screen recording with what i got now it takes 3 times as long as the video is just to save the project as a video file
thats my main thing really. i want something so stupidly powerful for doing those things, mainly music, but basically anything
you know how annoying it is messing with photoshop and editing high resolution photos when you barely turn a knob/slider and you gotta wait 32490 seconds to see what it did?
again, i don't know enough about computers to know if i did wrong thats why i've been asking, but i just went for the most powerful shit possible across the board in my price range
i dunno
