Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum (and Hackintosh community in general) and just wanted to lay out the build I'll be putting together this weekend. I didn't originally plan on a Hackintosh build, but after some detective work, I believe I've purchased the right Goldilocks combination of parts to successfully make a high-end 3D workstation AND stick to the OS I've come to know and love over the years.
The total cost of the build came to roughly $2,300, and I was able to get a couple of super nice ASUS PA248Q calibrated monitors for under $300 apiece. I went with Nvidia Quadro K4000 graphics - I've worked with Quadros before and I absolutely love their viewport performance, especially in AutoCAD. There is no way I could warrant hacking a GTX to make it work like a Quadro - I need that warranty.
The Specs are:
CPU: Intel i7-4930K 6-Core 3.4GHz BX80633I74930K
GPU: NVIDIA Quadro K4000 3GB GDDR5 (PNY Part #: VCQK4000-PB)
MB: ASUS Sabertooth X79 LGA 2011 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
MEM: 4X Crucial Ballistix Elite 8GB (32GB) DDR3 1866 MT/s (PC3-14900) CL9 @1.5V UDIMM
PSU: CORSAIR HX850 850W
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III MZ-7TE250BW
HDD: WD BLACK SERIES WD2003FZEX 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5"
If anyone out there has a similar build please chime in! I'd especially like to know if anyone has had any issues/luck with getting the Quadro K4000 to play nice in Mavericks.
Thanks all!
