i5 or i7 intel CPU?
Building a new PC for myself for music production after a destructive drunk night of accidently spilling alcohol inside my other computer! I got some recommendation from a friend that i should go with i5-3750k Ivy Bridge. Originally I was going to go for a i7-2600K or a i7- 3770. Does sonar x1 take advantage of the mutilcore that i7 has to offer? I am going to mainly work with large sample programs like East West products including their choir based VST, so i need it to handle those programs really well. Also going with 16BGB of memory.
In your opinion what should i go for? i5-3750k Ivy Bridge, i7-2600K or a i7- 3770?
I also do some work with guitar rig, maschine, massive, East West Products. Basically Orchestral pieces like movie sound tracks etc.
Thanks! And also if you can recommend me a motherboard as well that would be great. I need one with lots of usb ports. Can guitar rig, maschine, my axiom midi keyboard all plug in to usb 3.0 ports or just 2.0 ports?
I know i asked more than what the title says, but its my first build and i want a powerful computer that can handle what I do. Thanks
