Hello there folks,

I am planning on buying a new PC only for music production this week.

I have made the following setup, and would like to know what you think and what can be better. My budget is 800 - 900 eur.

I'm no expert but this looks like a pretty nice system to me. I would personally consider going for more than 520 watts in the power supply. I'd shoot for 650 to 750 watts to give me some flexibility in adding PCI cards or additional drives. That may be a bit old school, so I would like to hear other opinions on that. 
 
Good luck!

Have you talked to Jim Roseberry about a Studio Cat PC?

Dump the Seagate, get a WD Black drive.
RAM is cheap now. Go with at least 32GIG
You will probably not need an aftermarket cooler. If you're trying to save money, the stock one will work fine. All my machines use stock coolers.
Also, take a look at ASRock motherboards. I've been using them pretty exclusively for the past 6 to 8 years and they have been great.

A couple of recommendations:
I second the WD Black HD.
I would get a Samsung EVO SSD over Crucial.
And I would avoid Gigabyte MBs like the plague.  Asus is a much better choice.

There have been a spate of issues with the Samsungs, at least if you trust the reviews on Newegg. I don't know if those issues have been resolved or not, so some due diligence is in order. I've also read many folks swear by Gigabyte MB's for DAW's. Why do you avoid them like the plague?

Almost anything can run a DAW nowadays... Just go for the fastest CPU, RAM of at least 16GB (keep slots free for later expansions if you can), and the fastest/largest hard drive you can afford. Don't forget to look at the support options.

I had a gigabyte MB and had to use a special BIOS created by tech support to do audio.  Then after 3 years, it dumped the BIOS and the backup BIOS was corrupt, basically bricking the MB.  Also, I have seen other problems with  Gigabyte and other recommendations against Gigabyte on this board .
 
As far as Samsung, several IT professionals I trust are only using them in their personal and corporate builds.  I see some of the reviews are infant mortality failures, but most seem to be crappy cloning software related.  That Crucial has only 6 reviews and Crucial has been suspect in the past.

I'm personally looking at getting a Samsung Evo Pro. They are more expensive but come with a 10 year warranty and are known to be very good devices.
 
I know a lot of pro gamers are using Crucial these days but I don't know that I trust other companies besides Samsun for SSD at this point.

My experience with Gygabyte motherboards has been great since they started the UltraDurable series. I've built several systems with them over the last few years and not had any problems at all with any of them. I've just ordered 4 more to replace all of my old ones in preparation for Windows 10, the oldest being about 7 years, which has been used daily for my personal computer.
 
As for Asus boards, I've had to replace 3 in the last 5 years or so for family/friends. Though I should say that that all of those boards were budget-boards. The higher-end boards might be better. I don't know.
 
If you decide to go with Gygabyte, you should consider one of their 'Black' edition boards. They go through a 168 hour burn-in test at the factory before being shipped off.
