Music production

[perk]

Hello.

 

New here and need some push in the right direction.

After my iMac broke Down, I have decided to build my own Mac. It will be used for film composing (lots of software instruments and a DAW), so I need a lot of RAM and a strong anough CPU (thinking at least 4 cores).And fast enough disks.

 

 I am also considering stripping my old and retired G5 Powermac and use the case (it it is doable and works good).

 

I am kind of on a Budget, so I am not looking for the most expensive components I can get.

 

I want something that I has been tried and tested and that I know will work (also because of the Budget).

 

Any input?

 

Thanks
