Hello, I'm currently waiting for my new PC. Specs below.

I'm hoping an experienced eye can glace over them and let me know if I'm going to have a bottleneck or a weakest link.

I know enough to know this PC will be capable, but I'm really asking: will I still have to freeze tracks if I optimize this PC well?

My current/old PC is a i7 7700 with 16g ddr4 ram and I need to have every track frozen to be able to move on to recording a new one.

Interface is a Clarett 18i20 with octopre adat. This is the next year to be upgraded, but latency is surprisingly not that bad.

Slate VMR is my biggest CPU hog and I like to apply it to most of my buses. I'm getting nice mixes, but it's a process having to constantly watch my CPU.

Go easy, I'm still new and learning. I only switched from an all in one tascam daw two years ago.
