I'm often asked for advice on the ideal computer for using MB STUDIO and MB STUDIO VIDEO. It's not easy to answer because the hardware on sale is constantly changing, and new isn't necessarily better than old. My advice is to not buy a pre-built PC and not buy an Intel CPU. Instead, buy these components and have them assembled by a technician; it will cost you less and work better. Here are some components I currently use that work very well. This isn't the fastest computer you can get, but it's the best value for money.

  1. AMD Ryzen 5 8600G Processor -It's powerful, efficient, consumes little power, and runs cool. It has an internal GPU, so you can connect up to two monitors and use the MB STUDIO video plugin even without an NVidia GPU. https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-5-8600G/dp/B0CQ4GYTTX/ref=sr_1_1
  2. Gigabyte B650 Eagle Motherboard - A motherboard with many options and, above all, many PCI slots, one of which will certainly be useful for our Maya sound card. https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-B650-AX-Triple-Realtek/dp/B083TZ68H1/ref=sr_1_1 - attention: you need to update the bios to the latest version you find here: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B650-EAGLE-rev-10/support#dl

  3. Asus Dual NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 - if you need to use 3 or 4 monitors you need a powerful GPU like this: https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Graphics-DisplayPort-Axial-tech-Technology/dp/B0985X2YR1/ref=sr_1_1 - Warning: if If you use an NVidia GPU, I recommend disabling the AMD GPU in the motherboard BIOS, as running two GPUs at the same time often causes problems with MB Studio.

  4. MAYA44EX SOUND CARD - the best one to use with MB Studio https://www.amazon.com/ESI-MAYA44-PCIe-Audio-Interface/dp/B0846KGKNZ/ref=sr_1_1
  5. The power supply It's a very important component of your PC. If it doesn't work properly, your PC will crash randomly, so choose this one instead: https://en.sharkoon.com/product/SilStorCool0

This is just my advice. MB STUDIO will obviously work on any other hardware or CPU. I just wanted to share my positive experience with these components.
