Hey everyone--
This is my first CustoMac and I'm hoping to build a really solid machine. I've put together a build, but I can't confirm that my graphics card is supported and it's not on any of the lists. However, it appears to be a great card and a great deal. I was hoping to order all the parts today, but I want to get some feedback from you guys first. I'm planning on using an SSD for Mac Os and all apps, and a standard HDD for all storage. I'm a graphic designer and will be using this primarily for work, and I will be using a 55" 4K Sony Bravia as the monitor. In advance, thanks sooooooooo much for any/all help you can provide! My primary concerns are: is 600W enoug power? (i believe it is), and is the graphics card compatible (i really hope it is). See below for build specs:
Case: Fractal Design Define R5 Black Silent ATX Midtower Computer Case
PSU: FSP Group AURUM S 600W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Active PFC Power Supply with Intel Haswell Certified

CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K 8M Skylake Quad-Core 4.0 GHz LGA 1151 91W BX80662I76700K Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 530
CPU cooling: Corsair Hydro Series H110i Extreme Performance Water / Liquid CPU Cooler Cooling. 280mm CW-9060026-WW
Graphics Card: SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon R7 370 DirectX 12 100386VXL 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support Video Card
Memory: Ballistix Sport LT 64GB (4 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200) Desktop Memory Model BLS4K16G4D240FSE
SSD (OS and apps): SAMSUNG 850 EVO 2.5" 250GB SATA III 3-D Vertical Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-75E250B/AM
HDD (storage): Western Digital Caviar SE WD2500JD 250GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 1.5Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive
CD/DVD: Asus Black SATA 24X DVDRW E-Green No Logo Model DRW-24F1ST/BLK/B/GEN - OEM
Thanks again for the help guys/girls and know that it will be truly and sincerely appreciated.
