You might actually need at least a quad core i7 (say a 2860 or better), at least 4GB ram, and a SATA SSD on at least a SATA2 bus.

I was thinking of going with the i7-7800X 6 core, which people are overclocking to 4GHz with rock solid stability.

Under 50 tracks?
The older C2D models with a SSD on at least a SATA2 bus would run that.

Typically at least double that, and it is becoming more common to see counts near 200.

The newer generation i7 CPUs in a proper machine will give you headroom for miles. Run hundreds of instrument plugins in large orchestral mixes with many 100's of tracks or run extremely large live sound setups with near real time low latency. And then multitask with video and lots of other things running.
