Whatever musical composition software you choose, it should work on the new computer you are going to buy, so that you won't waste your money on a software which may be used less than you intend it to be.
It follows that it may be probably better to make the choice on a new computer first before making the choice on a new musical composition software.
The above holds unless you intend the new software to be used on your existing computer only.

That's definitely a consideration, and it might be wise to wait until I get a new computer before worrying about this at all, but I'd expect popular DAWs to work on essentially all modern hardware so it not working shouldn't be a concern. Probably.
