Hey guys, I'm about to build my first Hackintosh. I don't have much money now, but I know that I'll have about 2600$ (actually 2000€ as I'm from Austria) by October (I hope Mavericks will be out by then). The Hackintosh will be used for working with Adobe CS6 (especially Premiere Pro, After Effects and Photoshop) mainly, but also for watching TV and BluRays/DVDs. This is what I wanna get (based on July's Buyer's Guide and the Haswell Early Adopters Guide):
MoBo: Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD3H (160€ = 210$)
CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K 3,5 GHz (300€ = 400$)
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 WindForce 3X OC, 4GB GDDR5 (400€ = 530$)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32GB-Kit (250€ = 330$)
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 1TB (60€ = 80$)
SSD (for OS X, Windows and maybe Ubuntu plus all Adobe CS6 Apps): SanDisk Extreme 120GB (95€ = 125$)
Optical Drive: LG Electronics BH16NS40 BluRay Burner Retail (70€ = 90$)
Case: Sharkoon T28 Blue with window (60€ = 80$)
Power Supply: Sharkoon WPM600 600W (50€ = 65$)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Seidon 120M (50€ = 65$)
Display: BenQ GL2460HM 24" FullHD(145€ = 190$)
Keyboard: Apple Wireless Keyboard (60€ =80$)
Mouse: Apple Magic Mouse (60€ =80$)
WiFi-Adapter: TP-Link TL-WDN4800 (35€ = 45$)
That makes a total price of 1815€ = 2408$
Those were all the parts that I'm pretty sure about. But I also need:
Bluetooth-Adapter: What would you recommend? I only need it for the Magic Mouse & Wireless Keyboard.
Card Reader: Definitely need one because I record my vids and pics with a DSLR. Again: What would you recommend?
And I also want:
TV-Adapter: Are there any internal TV-Adapters that work with OSX? Or should I just use the Elgato EyeTV DTT?
What do you guys think of my build? Is it good for working with Creative Suite? Are there any parts you would change if you were me or did I throw in anything that is not supported by OSX? Thanks in advance
