If I want to build a system just for music production, is there a downside to using higher quality older processors and motherboards such as a Core 2 Quad with a LGA775 socket opposed to getting an i5 or i7 processor? The only downside I see is that older motherboards don't have USB 3.0 availability...Just wanted some input. Thanks.
