Need Hardware Specification For a Music-making PC

If you want to use the PC for professional level music making and editing, then i can suggest you a better configuration. As music editing consumes much more processing power, so make sure you have powerful processor with a durable motherboard. Prefer nothing less than i5-760. Its the best i5(quad-core) available in the market. Processor-- i5-760 RAM-- G.Skill(Ripjaw)/Corsair(XMS3) 2X2GB DDR3 @ 1333MHz/1600MHz Motherboard-- MSI P55A FUSION Power Supply-- Corsair TX 450W Graphic card--ATI 5770HD (you need to add a graphic card if using i3,i5 or i7)[if your work is not graphic intense, then can compromise with low power card like 4650HD] Sound Card-- Asus Xonar DX (the best one which i've tested, 10/10 in terms of sound quality). Hard drive--Depends on your space requirements. 1TB or above is recommended. Monitor-- Dell 2209W(22 inch) or 2409W(24 inch)or anything which you like..

Hello Ramaditya, I guess you would get the rest of the hardware components as mentioned in the first response. I would recommend you to install a sound card as well, because that is going to improve your sound system. Plus, you would need to install sound mixing software, that i don't have much idea of. I hope you find some nice softwares for editing and mixing. I have heard about fruity loops studio, but it would be best if you see it's review. I think it will be useful for you. All the best.

For music you do not need to have a very high end hardware. You need to have the hardware enough to play music. You may need a good sound card and speakers for better output. Rest everything is playable by a normal pc. You may have a blue ray disc player also.
