- Silent graphics
- Soundcard: Marian Trace Alpha or pro, or ESI Juli@ (with marian you will not need to use calibration - IF transmitter is OK!)

recommended:
- CPU i5
- ASUS appropriate higer model for CPU - free PCI slots
- 2x1 GB memory (or 2x2GB only if it's faster - it's not about amount)

If you want to use PC not only for processinng, then go for more memory and - Larger HDD will be good
