Note that the drive speed really won't make a HUGE difference for Pro Tools (if you use disk cache, you can even put your sessions on a USB flashdrive!) but since you are spec'ing out a top-tier build, I'd go with PCIe 4.0 drives. The extra speed "might" help with some VIs that stream samples, too.

Are you going with Windows 11 Pro clean install?

Titanium PSU?

DDR5?

Thanks for the reply. DDR5 yes 64gig. Win 11 - not sure. The shop that's building says they prefer to wait a year after release of a new OS to be sure the kinks are worked out and recommend (for now) sticking with Win-10. I'd do a clean install of that.



PSU - yes I like what you recommended there.



Still not sure on the graphics piece yet. Looking around at options. Again the alpha-numeric soup on all these gizmos is daunting!
