Long story short:
I impulsively sold most of my computer parts. When researching new parts, I was welcomed into the hackintosh world.
Budget:$575
Parts I have left over:
EVGA GTX 560ti
Plextor M3 128gb
Seagate 750gb
Samsung RAM 8gb
Need:
Case
PSU
MOBO
CPU
HSF
Wireless Card
What I'm thinking:
Case: Fractal R4-110
PSU: Corsair CX500-60
Mobo: Gigabyte Z77 UD3H-110
CPU: i5-3570k-170
HSF: Hyper 212 EVO with a Gentle Typhoon fan (already have the Gently Typhoon)-30
Wireless Card: TP Link 4800-35
I have a Microcenter near my house, and that's where I can get the lower prices on Mobo+i5
My Questions:
1) Will onboard sound work? I read in another thread here that the onboard sound would not work on the Z77 UD3H
2) If I ever upgraded to a seperate sound card such as the ASUS Xonar DGX or the DSX, would there be drivers/support?
3) Is it a pain to dual boot with Windows 7 or 8? I'm also a gamer, and my needs need to be met
4) What do you feel the biggest thing that Mac OS X offers that Windows 7 and/or 8 doesn't?
5) Once I get my machine up and running full throttle, besides upgrading, what won't work?
