Hey there! I just sold my Macbook Pro 15" and I'm interested in building my own Hackintosh instead.
I'm abit curious about my GFX card and the motherboard I'm interested in buying - aswell as the CPU, if I should should a 6 core CPU or a Haswell (I know that haswell isn't supported ATM by OSX, but hopefully there will be in Mavericks).
So..
Here are the components I'm about to buy:
Motherboard: Asus P9X79
HDD #1: 3TB Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm SATA 6Gbit/s
HDD #2: Samsung SSD Pro Basic 840-Series 256GB
CPU: Intel Core i7 3930K 3.2GHz or Intel Core i7 4770K 3.5 GHz (Haswell)
Cooler: Scythe Ninja III Rev.B
Graphics Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 760 Windforce
Chassi: Fractal Design Define R4 Svart
Power Supply: be quiet! Pure Power L8 530W 80+ Bronze Modular
RAM Memory: Corsair 16GB (2x8192MB) CL11 1600Mhz XMS3
Heres the full list of the 2 setups I'm thinking of:

or

So my question is simply. Is this a good package? its ONLY for music production.. and most importantly: Does it work with OSX? I'm unsure about the graphics card and the motherboard. Is it recommended to go with a Asus SABERTOOTH X79 TU motherboard instead? ( http://www.inet.se/produkt/1902170/a...rtooth-x79-tuf )
Answers are highly appreciated! MAny thanks! =) Best, J
