I am aiming for a PC build that would be primarily for music making. This involves using a lot of sequencer software which is a big CPU drain, and also some hardware equipment such as an external sound/audio interface professional speakers (which use XLR or TRS cables) and other general hardware that uses USB 2.0.
I would also like to use it for PC gaming (such as BF3, Skyrim etc) on high settings, although this isn't my main priority it would be nice to have.
Here is a list of stuff that I have put together, but I don't really know whether they are compatible, and would be best for what I want to use it for:
