Quick Answer

For music production in Witbank, build around an entry GTX 1650 or RTX 4060 is plenty since DAWs are CPU and RAM bound and Ryzen 7 7700 for low-latency multi-track mixing. 32GB DDR5 handles 100+ track sessions in Ableton or FL Studio without dropouts. Plan on roughly R20,000-R35,000 for a machine that handles this comfortably. Spend the budget on 32gb+ of ram, a fast nvme for sample libraries and a quiet case rather than a big gpu.

What this workload actually needs

A sensible parts list

Start with an entry GTX 1650 or RTX 4060 is plenty since DAWs are CPU and RAM bound and Ryzen 7 7700 for low-latency multi-track mixing, add 32GB of DDR5 RAM, a 2TB NVMe SSD and a 750W power supply. That gives you a music production PC that does real work rather than just looking the part. Expect roughly R25,000-R40,000 for this configuration in Witbank.

Where Witbank buyers should and should not spend

Resist the urge to overspend on the GPU if the workload is CPU or RAM bound. Spend the budget on 32gb+ of ram, a fast nvme for sample libraries and a quiet case rather than a big gpu. A fast NVMe and adequate RAM age far better than chasing a flagship card you will not fully use.
