    I know I may take some heat for saying it, but I think you will be just fine with that system, and it sounds like a great buy.
    I have been rather fond of AMD processors in the past, and have used quite a few in music systems (once they got the floating-point processing up to par with Intel).

    Unless you plan to have 48 tracks of nothing but soft-synths going in your projects, you should be OK.

      I've had zero issues with my machine. All drives are SATA 6 and use a SSD for boot. 

    It's great for gamming too.

    The das of AMD processors being looked at like they are toys are long gone.
    i use two daws,one has an I7 intel,
    the other is an AMD phenomII 6 core.
    i know i might take some heat as well by saying this but i find very little difference except the price tags.
     
    the test i ran with Sandra were very close.
