Think longer down the road. An i7 might support 40 or 50 tracks and a few dozen plugins (if you have enough RAM), but it will be pushing it if you increase your number of voices. You want enough power and processing capacity so you aren’t taxing the computer’s resources to the limit. Make an investment in hardware that you can grow with. I’d say i9 and 32GB RAM minimum with a very good video card. Two or three years from now, you won’t regret stretching your budget.
