    i7, and 32Gb seems like overkill, but no harm. Main thing is audio card. Internal/external? Onboard are usually crap.

    look up audio forums for good quality audio systems. Do you need firewire interface?

    What price were you quoted for that? There was another lad looking to do a build for Music Production lately too.
