i thought sound cards were designed to protect from interference?

He doesn't need a sound card though. But since his is broken on his PC, a cheap one will be fine.

He's using a studio application so it's HIGHLY recommended to get at least 12GB RAM (just get 16GB anyway) (I know I am late), the i5 is fine as long as it can handle instructions given from the application.
For best GPU results get a GPU that has 11GB VRAM. A 1070/1080 ASUS is pretty much overkill in my opinion but should be able to run any game at 4K at high settings (possibly ultra) - also great at studio production. I haven't tried any AMD video cards so I have a feeling they'll have better performance in studio than nvidia would.
Tactical Nuke:
is there a reason why the gtx geforce 1070 isn't showing a price on my list
it keeps tricking me into thinking the price of my PC went down $1000
nvm it's showing again - https://pcpartpicker.com/list/y7trd6
does anyone know if prices will come down for christmas season and if so by how much

they are but performance on interference is still worse then it just being completely outside of the computer

new parts list, I changed some things
I need help finding a cheaper version of 4 x 8gb ddr4-3000, or 2 x 16gb ddr4-3000 w/o compromising quality (last time someone just took away rgb)
also I need some feedback on the cpu cooler/switching to ryzen 7 1800x/geforce gtx 1080
