Thanks for the responses very interesting stuff, keep them coming.
My knowledge is pretty good when it comes to putting computers together and I am mainly going to build this DAW system because my OLD system is out dated and cannot be change anymore, so you might say a personal project. I have had my OLD system for around 18years. Before I sold my Admin Network computer business I built it from scratch including a fully customizable mother board it took me nearly 12months to build and source all the parts that I needed but I ended up with a very powerful Beast that I could even put my own badge on and add more parts to (VERY HAPPY :) ).
Now I have fallen behind the eight ball with some of the techy stuff an just really after advice on what is the best way to install Win10, OH and yes I know about paging files, registries and windows searching and several programs running in the background etc... They are still part of the Old world systems back in the day.
Things have change a lot with hard drives cause we would always just install windows on C-drive and progams on E-drive (D-drive being for CD-Drive LOL), and then have a DATA Drive for all Documents etc...Back in the day it was always the more RAM you had the better. As I do use a lot of virtual instruments and hungry synths, I figure I would still go with 32gig apposed to 16gig RAM.
Interesting you should bring up about Hybrid drives cause I have a Seagate Momentus XT 750gig in the OLD PC which got updated to GEN2 when they first came out and it has and still is serving me well, and I was thinking of using Seagate ST2000DX001 Desktop SSHD 2TB for the sample libaries and Sonar folders ect... in the NEW DAW PC, basically because of it's size a cost. But I bought the WD Black 2tb for very very cheap around $50 Australian, so I was going to use this for all the Folder stuff within Sonar and the Windows Folders and also put the sample libraries on.
So now for a new work around, How does this sound?
C-Drive 500gig SSD : Windows 10 and programs including VST and plug ins - I already have a Samsung 750 EVO 500GB SSD which I can use
D-Drive Maybe get another 500gig SSD for the sample libraries this should be enough for what I use
E-Drive DATA - I already have the WD Black 2TB which I could put the Sonar Folders, Windows Folders and also the Pageing file onto
G and H-Drive would be my OLD Project files and some Short term Backups
Still waiting on a comment on the Mother Board ASRock Z170 Extreme4
My Room is pretty big in size and has been fully acoustically treated, yes I use Mics and an Electric drum kit Roland TD30 and Bass Guitar and electric Guitar.
The PC Case has been custom Built by me just for this project, the power supply has been modified by me just for this project.
As far as checking with JIM yep I'm open for a quote but don't know if I would be able to get it sent to Australia.
As stated not really keen on water cool
Some theory facts - Water cooling apposed to direct fan
Direct Fan- Cheaper than water Cool. As long as the proper Parts have been use and the system is looked after, and all the calculations are done for air flow and heat dispersion the fan can out last a water cooler (depending on how the water or fluid system is done)
Water cooling - Expensive, still has Fans for radiator, water pump can be very annoying and if not checked regularly can be a down fall and cost you a new rebuild. Water and or Fluid can go stale and may need refilling from time to time.
You can properly see in those statements, for water cooling, yes I have had a very very bad experience with water and fluid systems.
