Home Recording Studio PC Spec

I've inherited a bit of money, so have finally decided to get my own recording setup for my bedroom. The rest of the kit is ordered, so only need to buy a new desktop PC. In a perfect world, I would buy a new Mac, but I'm not a millionaire - or even slightly well off.

I'll be recording and mixing audio with Cubase 5. The PC will have nothing else on it.

My budget for the desktop PC could possibly stretch up towards the £800 - £825 marker, but that will have to be the absolute limit.

Anyway, could any of you lot interested in this sort of thing (hopefully) confirm that it will be suitable for what I have in mind? I appreciate any input.

The KORG M01D is a music workstation based on the KORG M1 the world’s first widely known music workstation. The M1 was released in 1988 by KORG Inc., one of the most famous and leading electronic musical instrument companies. The KORG M01D reproduces the M1’s unforgettable digital sounds of the 80s such as the “M1 piano”, still heard on many songs today. With 24 voice-polyphony, over 300 sounds and an easy to operate sequencer, the KORG M01D helps you play and create your music at any place, and at any time, in a palm-size package!

This brings the “fun” experience beyond the music workstation, for everyone from beginners to professionals. The song data and MIDI data can be saved to an SD card so the KORG M01D can be used as a sketchpad. You can preserve all of your musical ideas which can be later converted to your DAW system for more serious music production. In addition, anyone can exchange song data using Nintendo 3DS Wi-Fi via the Internet. Sold in Japan since August 2010 as a package, the KORG M01D has been highly acclaimed by creators and performers who love gadget musical instruments.
