where the hell are you getting a comp with those specs for that cheap?!

yes, that is very fast. TONS of storage and will work flawlessly for "making beats and laying vocals"

Indeed, I second that. Where indeed are you getting a pre-built PC with those specs for that price. I want 2.

And indeed, it is fast enough, and will work fine. With that rig, install Sonar Producer 4 and a good audi interface and your all set.

I didnt see that it came with a sound card. Depending on what your recording concerns are, you could be looking anywhere from $150 - $1500 for a decent sound card. Make sure you have an actual "recording" sound card too. Soundblaster Audigys and similar are designed for gaming. Many of us will tell you to avoid those!

Other than that, it looks like that computer will do you just fine. I looked at your profile and didn't see see what other equipment you have. But you may want to get a cheaper computer and save your money for monitors, condensor mic, mixer, etc...Just an idea.
