I am thinking about building a PC oriented towards music production. My current desktop is 10 years old this month and is due to be replaced. Had been considering a Mac Studio but I am having second thoughts given the significant price difference and Apple's expensive storage upgrades.

I use Ableton Live 10 for my DAW. I have a Scarlett 4i4 audio interface, so no need to add any sound card to the build.

Going for a microATX build to save on physical space. Will also likely add another case fan somewhere. No Windows 11 license listed but I intend to get one. GPU is more for any light video editing or Photoshop I might do, not planning to do much of any gaming.

Any suggestions for improvement on this part list or any thoughts in general?

So, the MSI GTX 1650 4Gb is what hardcore gamers are using these days?

I doubt it, hardcore gamers are probably dropping a five grand on the newest 6969 TI special mountain dew edition nvidia card with 8 terrabytes of ram

Naw, Gamer's Nexus reviewed that and called it a "waste of sand", the RX420XX18GB is the shit to have these days
