We can give you hints after you have given us your PC and soundcard /driver specs, and the version of X3 you're running.
It's not a question about computer power but the settings and drivers, usually.

...with drivers being a huge factor, including graphics card drivers.

Thanks for any help, Also I would like to get some pre-made acoustic guitar loops to save time instead of using my guitar in any info on that but main concern is crashing when recording a song.

Check to make sure you're running the latest drivers for your device, you can get that info here:

Within SONAR, go to Edit > Preferences (advanced) > Audio > Playback and Recording and make sure that your Driver Mode is set to ASIO and select [Apply].

See if that works for you.
