I'm in the process of buying components for my first Hackintosh. I have a motherboard and CPU coming that I chose from the Oct 2013 Buyer's Guide.
I see Fry's has this video card on sale right now:
ASUS GTX650-E-2GD5 GeForce GTX 650 2GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready Video Card
The Buyer's Guide indicates I can use a GTX650, but this one is a GTX650-E. I did some research and I see that the only difference "seems" to be that the "E" version doesn't require a separate power connector.
Is this card OK? It probably is, but I wanted to double check seeing that none of the cards in the buyer's guide have an "E" version listed.
I was origianlly going to get a GT640, but if this GTX650-E is just as easy to use, I can get a slightly better graphics card for less.
