All I will say is that I when go to do a build and I have done many over the last 15 plus years, I research components to the nth degree. It takes me a lot of time studying like many weeks but when I build it takes me less than a day and I end up with really good and *extremely* quiet computers and I am not afraid to spend money on good componentry.
It can be tough because just when I think I have researched my perfect computer a new motherboard will come out and it will change a lot of my parts list. Yeah, I know I am sick.
However, almost two years ago I built two future proofed DAWs for my studio that even today is smoking hot fast and they *never* ever crash. USB 3.0 Check SATA 6GB Check DDR3 memory Check blah blah blah… but get this, with my i7 64bit Nehalem microarchitecture, today I could slap one of the fastest processors out there and my motherboard supports it with a simple BIOS update.
Now I do not want to spend over a grand on this CPU now because I want the most bang for my buck. Plus, I can safely overclock my current beast out the ying yang if I want to. When the price comes down to around $250.00 depending on my circumstances, I might just buy in.
My *point* is to do your homework and you won’t be sorry because your computer will last a long time and you won’t be plagued with problems and I am sorry I have no idea whether your parts list is good to go, but good luck.
