Yeah I thought that was probably the case - different PC requirements for music vs gaming. Don't need such good graphics card for music?:)
I expect the overall performance is a fair bit lower for music PC than gaming from what I have seen?

Quite a bit lower, as long as you don’t plan to upsample everything with HQPlayer, or similar.
I don’t use HQPlayer, and the Chord gear is too expensive for my taste/budget.
Yes the Chord stuff is way too pricey but it is good. I have had a Mojo, Hugo and Qutest in my system and they have all performed well but not convinced me to part with cash.
I have always been trying to get my hands on DAVE for a listen in my system. I have heard it numerous times in my mates various systems over the past 6 years or so and it can sound stunning for digital. There were times when I really did feel it had crossed the threshold into analogue territory and it convinced me digital could definitely be a viable option but then the price bought me down to earth with a bump!:)
My 500w linear ATX PSU purchase has fallen through.
It was a returned unit that got damaged in transit back to HD Plex.
Yes, but it is much cheaper this way.
