If you were to build a computer today which ATX form factor mother board, chipset & etc. would you choose to build a desktop computer that would primarily be used for music?
I recently upgraded my Windows 7 computer to Windows 10. I REALLY did’t like Windows 10 so after about three unhappy months, I re-installed Windows 7 on a spare hard drive and now it’s I have a dual boot system.
Then I had a little fire in my power supply! It just fried a couple of wires on the power supply and damaged an optical drive, but I no longer trust the hardware and I want to build a new computer. And I want to do it *now* before there aren’t any motherboards to buy that will support Windows 7. Any computer geeks around that can make some suggestions to get me started?
I used to be a heavy computer user, but now I do most things on my iPad and don’t spend a lot of time at my desktop except for music. My Audiomat Arpege tube amp and Spendor S3/5 Monitor Speakers sit idle there because the internal ASUS Xonar Essence II Sound Card is constantly going down on me. Some sort of incompatibility I think with my motherboard? I don’t know what the problem is, but I am not moving it forward to the new build, but will be buying an external DAC instead.
