Yea ill be spending a few hundred on sound cards eventually so quality shouldn't be an issue. Is the popping on the onboard stuff that bad and definitive or is there a solution for it ? tried scouring the forums for people talking about the problem or ways around it but could find anything.
Apologies, i'm only having 16 gb of RAM not 32, the purpose of it is to run Logic and Pro-tools for music editing , so in terms of graphics high spec is not essential. I'll just need to run lots of "applications" ( music software plugins, vst's, au units and plug ins etc) and audio at the same time.
I appreciate the feedback and your faith that the system will work. In your experience would a smaller ssd be better suited for running my system and then having a larger one to store samples and data on as apposed to two larger ones.
