I'm about to order components for my 1st Hackintosh - somewhere between recommended build #3 and #4. There is about $100 difference in the motherboards suggested in these two builds. I would appreciate any comments to help decide between these boards or anything in between. :?
So far I've decided on:
cpu: i5 2500K
gpu: GA- HD6850 OR 6870
ram: Corsair Vengeance (4 x 4gb) - up from 3x - thanks to phil_phister
ssd: Crucial M4 64gb (just over $100 right now)
cpu cooler: Scythe SCMG II
Lian Li mid tower aluminum case - not sure which one yet
Apple wireless keyboard & trackpad
Already have :
- HD for Windows (dbl boot)
- Seasonic 650 watt power supply
- Mac Box Set 10.6.3
Intended use: General office apps, internet use, some home video and photo editing. Always have 4 or 5 apps running at the same time.
Comments on the build in general also appreciated. I do plan on overclocking.
