It shouldn't be a high end computer, just a computer with that I can record maybe play some games, listening to music etc. I looked a bit and made this "composition" (that's basically made out of a toplist where I did choose the products with the best price-performance) Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 MSI X38 Diamond Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 Seagate 7200.10 250GB LG GSA-H62N What is missing are a case, fans, RAM and a power supply. What could you recommend me there ? Greets /edit: Soundcard is missing, I don't want to use the onboard one You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Also I would choose nvidia when it comes to gamer video cards. As far as the case goes, you can choose any you like really, they are cheap and not that important but power is important, a good quality power handling 600W and 12cm fan will do the job very good. If you're on a budget 2x1GB of Geil Ultra modules will do the job just fine. Fans are trivial also.. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

As I said, I just want to play some games, I really don't need a gamer computer. Which EMU card can your recommend ? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
