Hi, my name is Livio, I am writing from Italy.
Founding detailed suggetions in this site I decided to assemble my first CustoMac.
I need this computer for video editing, with two different configurations:
I think the simple way is to change the System disk with the different installations.
About the mother board I'm in doubt between :
Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD5H with Core i7-4790K
or
ASUS SABERTOOTH X79 with Core Xeon-E5-1620 v2 or Core Xeon-E5-1650 v2
I think is better to follow the hardware suggested here, but I have many doubts on the video card, I found two list of video cards:
V1: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202239
V2: http://www.tonymacx86.com/building-customac-buyers-guide-may-2015.html#Graphics_Cards
but none of the cards suggested in V1 is also present in V2, only the GTX950, but in V1 is GTX950M and in V2 in many different versions: GTX950 SC, GTX950 FTW etc.
I search in forum
P1LGRIM says: “If you want it to just work then GTX 760 is the way to go.”
but GTX 760 it is neither in V1 ot V2
Going Bald says: “For FCPX your best bet is R9 280X.”
I think is: Sapphire R9 280X Vapor-X 3GB GDDR5 AMD Radeon R9 280X 3072GB, but 280X it is neither in V1 ot V2
HD 7950 is suggested in: http://www.fcp.co/forum/hardware/18250-brucex-try-this-new-final-cut-pro-x-benchmark but HD 7950 it is neither in V1 ot V2.
In conclusion in the forum there are suggestions for cards that are not recommended by tonymacx86 and apple , apple recommends boards are not recommended by tonymacx86, I don't know which one to choose.
Please help me.
Thank you.
Livio
