Default Re: Building my own computer for my own little home studio?

Step #1 is picking the soundcard you want. The soundcard may possibly have specific requirements for the Motherboard Chipset (I really don't even know what a Chipset is or does. I just know that soundcards have special requirements sometimes). Also, look to see if they are require a certain # of pins in the Firewire card.

In other words, research the soundcard to see what it likes and what it does. Some soundcard manufacturers will recommend certain motherboards.

Step #2 is figuring out your budget.
