OK I know there has been a thread like this in the past....

But I am wondering if the standards have gone up once again for a music PC...

(I know how quick computers go obsolete)

Can someone who really knows PCs well list an updated spec please? :D

I've almost saved enough money to FINALLY get the f*ck off this Pentium 2 and start learning how to use some new programs.....

What are the best specs for a PC (including soundcard) to run CUBASE SX, SOUNDFORGE & ACID and in the future some outboard gear??

I wanna take this list to some computer places and see how much its gonna cost...

Thanks guys.
