Considering building an audio recording machine ..

​

Hey folks,

​

I am considering building a machine for general use and running Logic Pro X and plugins etc. Currently I have a MBP 15" its from 2013 but it has an i7 and 16gb ram 512 ssd.

​

I'm wondering how much I would need to spend to create a desktop PC hackintosh that significantly outperforms this MBP and does so in a silent fashion. Fan noises drive me bonkers as I record primary acoustic music so noise floor is key.

​

As far as video card goes, I doubt I'd need anything special. Powering 2x4k monitors would be great. I don't play video games etc.

​

Oh ya it *must* have thunderbolt to work with my Universal Audio Apollo 8 recording interface.

​

Any ideas on mobos, cases, cooling, procs etc would be appreciated as food for thought !

​

Thank you -Kevin
