PC for multimedia/music making

I. Have Cubase sx3 so I can't pay for the upgrade as they only go from 4 so I would have to buy again. This would be a dream if I was just paying for the upgrade.

I built my PC from eBuyer for £814 and it's similarly specced but I have 16gb of RAM, 120gb SSD and a decent branded case and psu. That was July last year so some parts such as memory have increased in price.

I am reluctant to buy from Ebuyer due to their appallingly bad reviews. I know you have to take some with a pinch of salt but just look on trustpilot and you will know what I mean. A big risk when buying multiple items for self build.

Just to add 2p-worth, I bought a load of parts from eBuyer not too long ago (there's athread on here somewhere about it) for a self-build.
Ordered everything on-line and it was delivered quicker than expected (and well before they said it would be).
Apart from a few bad sectors on the HDD (which I'm now using for temporary backup) I didn't have any issues.

I've used eBuyer for years for all my PC parts and never had any issues with anything.

I could pop over to scan computers and pick up some bits then I won't be paying postage. They are competitive with Ebuyer.
