Keyboard:

Edirol PCR80 (Dont know if i should get this or a different controller)

Well first of all if you are buying a AMD (which is a good investment) you should buy a 3500 instead of a 3200. The price is almost simular, but the preformances are defently diffrent. The 3500 is a much stronger processor. Many people make the mistake buying the 3200...

About the monitors. I do not know your level and experience with producing but if you are serious and you are planning on keeping on working you should invest in monitors in a much higher level. It's just not worth buying monitors which you will regret having after a couple of years because of the incapabilities they will have. You should think about buying something like the Mackie 624\824 or the Adam p11.
It's a lot of money but they will forsure serve you aswell as you can imagine. Until they will wear out you will not have to buy a new pare.

Good luck mate.
