Look in buyers guide and see what you can get for 1200?

@Going Bald: But when Lion is installed, does he have to boot from usb again? I was under the impression that install would be pretty straight forward, and just open app from appstore?

I'm not sure about the update, but that shouldn't be a problem to find on this site. In bios you change graphics option from PEG to IGD(I think)n there should only be a couple of options. Just checked, you can just log into your account and install like a normal mac.

Yes you do :) The intel cpu you are using has integrated gfx(HD3000), is that not what you are using right now? The HD3000 should be just fine for what you need, I have it on a laptop, and its fine for normal use.

Thanks for the reply Skaker. On my UEFI(z77x-ud5h) I have to set vcore to normal, in order to set an offset. But the actual vcore keeps on rising even though i set it an offset much lower. I am fine on 44, but the vcore is more than I set, and that worries me. I would like to control it. And...

Tried with Eist enabled, vcore normal(1,130), offset +0.000 @ 4,4 GHz and HWmonitor said my vcore max was 1.200v, and that was just during startup. Shouldn't those settings mean that the vcore would stay @ 1,130v?

I changed turbo to 4,4, and then enabled EIST, and left vcore on auto. But HWmonitor showed my max voltage as 1,310 :o Did I damage my chip? Should it be on normal and not auto? And if normal, do i set offset to normal or auto? Thanks so much

I got the MSI n660 ti power edition, and it is listed core speed 1033 MHz, and boost clock: 1098, however in games Afterburner tells me speed is 1190 under load. Is this a bug in afterburner?

Since you know what you want, just look though http://www.tonymacx86.com/344-building-customac-buyer-s-guide-april-2013.html and find a board with the features you where asking for. The GA-z77x-ud5h will prolly do the job for you.

OK lets get one thing straight. The ''k'' in 3570K means that this cpu is unlocked, and that you therefore have the option of turning up the clock speed. You can do this on a non ''K'' cpu as well, but not nearly as much. If you choose to over clock your cpu, then yes you will need a cooler. But...

The TH=thunderbolt, so go for the UD5h of the 2 you mentioned.

I haven't seen a guide but I'm sure there are some. A google search should take care of that. I heard the h100 performs great, but also that hydro systems like that can be a bit noisy under pressure. More noisy than the Noctua nh-d14, which is pretty silent for an air cooler. Which is why bought...

No problem with the drivers, I have the GTX 660 Ti. But for display port, can't you just use HDMI-Displayport with the GTX 560? Or will you lose quality?

So I just read some posts on that, apparently a lot of people are having this issue, although some say it mounts fine, even tho it looks like it won't. You can always install it outside the case like this: http://imgur.com/BjC8v, but maybe you got unlucky with the MOBO.

Looks just fine, get going!

You prolly don't need an i5-3570k for that. I have seen most game run great on the i3-3225, and those games you mention will run perfect on that. Even the GT 640 will take care of that, you don't need GTX 650 unless you want demanding games in high quality. Check out some benchmarks of the games...

I can't imagine that the 750w PS will be enough. Recommended power for those cards are like 400w each. Check out SLI for gtx 660 ti as well. I saw some pretty impressive benchmarks on those.

Really? Are you installing it on top like this? : http://www.overclock.net/t/1119694/official-corsair-carbide-series-200r-300r-400r-500r-owners-club/690#post_15720107

You can choose another MOBO from the list, and put in a wifi card, if the chosen MOBO has a PCI/PCI-E slot for it. The GTX 650 Ti will do fine with the games that you mention. I am not that familiar with visual studio, or cs 6 so I can't say if that will be enough. A core i5 will do fine, I'm...

Hi again. Thanks so much for all your help. Just wanted to know if you have had any problems with your build? After my OS X install it freezes with like a white filter on the screen, or tells me to restart if I press key and choose OS X in bootloader. If have the same build as you, with the...
