i7 Builds - Specs and Results

[DonaldM]

Would really appreciate some feedback on the specs I posted a couple days ago. this is the system I want to have built. I want to be sure I've got the right components and am not overlooking anything. Thanks.
I'd feel better ordering the system if a couple of you told me its good.



Thanks

In case my reply didn't get thru, I think the build looks great, though I think the graphics card may be overkill. I run 3 screens on a simple $100 nVidia card that has 4 HDMI outputs(all screens are 1920x1080). As for things to copy, that's sort of option. You could go thru the old files and copy over IO settings, session templates and track presets. I'm not sure anything else will matter. On the new system, I would go thru Preferences and reset to your liking(I would not risk polluting the new rig with an old prefs file). As for plugin presets, not sure how many you have(I only have maybe 8-10). I find it pretty easy to open an existing session that uses some, open those plugins(which should come up with the saved settings) and then save them as presets on the new machine(this probably IS something you could copy over).
