New PC recommendation?
I've been putting off buying a new PC for ages. It's giving up the ghost now. I'm in the UK and willing to pay £1000 or up to £1500 ($1,963) if it's worth it. Does anybody know any good deals or stores to check out?
Thanks System Details: ACPI x64-based PC Processor: Intel Core i5 CPU 750 @ 2.67 GHz Memory: 4096MB RAM Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 5700 Series Audio Interface: 1. Presonus 1824 (primary) 2. Eleven Rack (via 1824 S/PDIF) 3. Fast Track C400 (connected to the PC for USB powered use). IO: Windows 10 Home DAW: Pro Tools 2018.10 / FL Studio 20 |

pro-tools-pc.com would be my first recommendation. An off-lease HP Z820 12 core is a good alternative if you don't need thunderbolt but not sure if those can be had easily on your side of the pond

A lot of software developers replace their extremely powerful workstations every year or so. I went that route with a Dell Precision and my most recent computer was a Pro Tools PC tuned for being very quiet.

Re: New PC recommendation?
Thanks, guys. I contacted ProTools PC a while ago and they don't serve the UK anymore.

I'll post details of the machine when it's here and working but so far, they've been great to work with - I'm making the transition back to PCs after 12 years on a Mac, my component/tweak knowledge is rusty and I don't have huge amounts of time to research and learn to enable me to confidently self build (which I did in the past).
