Planning a new mini itx system
What do you think of these component for a mini ITX daw :
- Asus Z87I-PRO (I'm planning to use the built-in graphic)
- 2x8 GIG (Kingston HyperX1600 Mhz)
- i7 4790K
- 2x Samsung 128G SSD
- APEVIA X-Fit-200 Mini-ITX Case with 250W PSU
...anything else I'm missing ? (beside the keyboard,mouse,monitor)
Questions :
Is a single 128G sufficient for Win 8 OS + Sonar (and some common VSTs - Ozone, T-Racks, Syncmaster, AAS, Nomad, etc, but not a lot - I don't use Komplete,yet) ?
I may mix 1 SSD with a notebook drive. What do you think of the WD Notebook Drive 7200 rpm 500GB - as good as a regular desktop 7200 rpm drive ?
I found a Clevo based notebook OEM that supplies a system with the i7 (edit) 4710MQ 4810MQ processor, with almost matching cost (if I consider the notebook display monitor, keyboard, etc..) but much better portability. Would the desktop i7 4790K processor achieve better low latency compared to the notebook i7 4710MQ 4810MQ ?
Thanks.
