Pc Question - Buying

Hey guys.. i'm buying a new pc and i wanted your opinion on the matter (as i don't know much about pc).
i want it mostly to use audio programs as FL, Reason,Cool Edit, and any of those programs that my shitty pc can't handle well.
i don't care about playing games but i want my pc to be pretty fast..

i was thinking about getting the Asus A7n8x Deluxe motherboard
has anyone use it?? what do you think of it..?
and about the rest of the stuff i was thinking of getting a 2400 or similar AMD mobo. 512 ddr RAM and a big HD..
can someone recomend me models of brand about this stuff that can go well with the motherboard??
thanxs a bunch
andres

ps: sorry 'bout my english

you seem very confused, read up a bit more before you consider building

I went intel all the way (this was almost a year ago) p4 2.0 ghz 512 ram, 2hd's 60 & 40, fl runs pretty well...

Well yeah, on the AMD part...he's got the ASUS mobo thing correct though.

get a dell if u dont game or do much heavy work. if u want to spice it up a bit, go build your own, part by part. somestimes dell's price with a flat cant be match, my friends seem to like it if they arent hardcore about hardware, fps, OCing and stuff..

Yeah really...you can substitute another 512MB of RAM for a cheaper video card since you are not worried about gaming. Sometimes a pre-built computer is the way to go if you're not into gaming or graphical design.

thanxs for the replyes..
no.. .. i'm not planning on building a pc myself.. i just wanted any advice on what would be a good setup to run that kind of programs.. i would select the setup and buy it that way..

some places u can pick what u want but it wwill cost u. if u goto newegg/pricewatch and pick part by part u can get some good deals on parts but a dell with comparable specs will be alitte cheaper.

your gonna need a good sound card like sound blaster audigy 2 platinum or if u have the money go for the platinum ex, my friend has it. Amazing sound coming out of his speakers

Asus = Good motherboard

Gigabyte = Good motherboard

MSI = Good motherboard

the one you specified is a great motherboard, i wanted to get it myself, but it was a bit too expensive. If you can afford it, go ahead.

If you use lots of audio software, more ram is better. 512MB minimum.

CPU: more than 2.0ghz intel should suffice
