Yeah ok so I am half looking into getting a PC for my next step up, fuck knows where it will go though..
I am on my laptop at the moment so clearly not ideal, and as a matter of fact it is starting to lag pretty bad now whenever I run a high memory program (ie my DAW)
I have searched on here and there are a few threads about building your own PC, but a) I don't know if there have been significant technological advancements in parts over the past few years and b) I have no clue whatsoever on PCs.
I guess the main questions I have are;
1) If I build a PC, how do I know what parts are good? And would it be easy to upgrade the parts (if I need to down the line) without the PC dying or something?
2) Would it be better to JUST use the PC for running my DAW and plugins and whatever, or can I also get away with running games on it without too many adverse effects on my producing? Because my laptop is sucking at running games as well at the moment...
That's all for now, thanks for any help guys
