Hi all -

It has been a good 10 years since I built my last computer system. In fact, the last time I was up to speed on hardware, Pentium 4's were still all the rage

. Thankfully now I'm finally in the market again to build a new system, and since I don't know much about hardware anymore I have come to you guys for some help/ideas. In general I'm looking to built a multi-purpose system for office tasks, but with specific focus on audio production (i.e. more specifically, making of DJ mixes and electronic music using software such as FL Studio or Cakewalk).

As such, the only real requirements I would have are a great sound system, two large LCD monitors, and plenty of storage space. I'm not looking to do any gaming so don't need a fancy videocard. In terms of budget - I'm trying to keep it between $1000- $1500 (is that doable)?

Thanks in advance for the help, I really appreciate it.
