Im looking to build a snow leopard hackintosh that i can later update to lion/mountain lion. I've decided on the following:
Intel CPU Core i7 2600K Unlocked http://www.scan.co.uk/products/inte...-34ghz-hd3000-igp-850mhz-8mb-cache-95w-retail
Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3P Z68 Socket 1155 Motherboard http://www.scan.co.uk/products/giga...155-ddr3-sata-iii-6gb-s-raid-sata-pcie-30-atx
Corsair Memory Vengeance Low Profile Black 16GB DDR3 1600 MHz (4x4GB) http://www.scan.co.uk/products/16gb...pc3-12800-(1600)-non-ecc-cas-9-9-9-24-xmp-15v
24x DVD Writer Sony AD-5280S-0B http://www.scan.co.uk/products/sony-ad-5280s-0b-24x-dvdr-12xdvddl-dvdplusrw-x8-rwx6-sata-black-oem
Im having difficulty deciding what graphics card would be a good option. I will be using it only as a DAW so i only need something basic, but with the option of 2 displays and also working with lion if i decide to upgrade. As this is my 1st hackintosh i also want a card that will work without alot of effort.
Would a EVGA 512MB GeForce G210 GDDR3 NVIDIA Graphics Card - 512-P3-1311-KR do the job? http://www.scan.co.uk/products/512m...r-1230mhz-16-cores-d-sub-dual-link-dvi-i-hdmi
The XFX HD 6870 AMD Radeon Graphics Card - 1GB - HD-687A-ZHFC seems like a good card but im guessing its way more than i need http://www.scan.co.uk/products/1gb-...s-eyefinity-hdmi-2x-mini-displayport-2x-dvi-i
The XFX HD 6850 could have been a good compromise, but scan stock the ZCFC which doesnt seem to be working.
Are there any other cards i should consider?
Also im planning to use a firewire device for audio, would the onboard be ok or would i need a separate card?
Thanks for any help
