Hey there,
Right now, I’m running an Nvidia GT 640 along with a 1TB Seagate BarraCuda.
I'm looking to put together a build that leaves room for a future upgrade to an Intel Core i5, complete with an SSD and a beefier graphics card. Ultimately, my goal is gaming (though I don't care much about high FPS or ultra settings) and music production using Ableton Live paired with an external sound interface. I was thinking of basing the initial setup on something like an Intel Pentium G3258.
Since I want this rig to last, I'd rather invest in a solid power supply and a motherboard with four RAM slots that fully supports Windows 10.
I'm also wondering if it makes sense to jump straight to a Skylake G4400 instead. How would that stack up against the Intel Pentium G3258 when it comes to the tasks I mentioned?
Thanks in advance,
