To start, i'm from the Netherlands and i'm a student/photographer (little bit of video editing).
If my english gets to bad, sorry in advance!
This build should get me thru 4 years of study. It should be on a 1000$ budged and stil future proof.
After watching a few hours of Hackingtosh builds on Youtube and reading this forum i'm going for it !
I just want to verify with you guys if this is actually a proper build and that my thoughts about upgrading/expanding in the future are correct!
If you guys could give your opinion/tips or warn me for anything stupid it would be awesome!!
Parts:
CPU: Intel Core i5 4670K
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H (The Ethernet port is working right? I don't want WiFi)
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport XT (2x8GB) Leaving 2 slots open on the motherboard for future expansion.
Drive 1: SSD Samsung 840 EVO 250GB
Drive 2: 3 TB, WD Black SATA 6 Gb/s
Drive 3, 4, 5 and 6 for future expansion for a raid setup. Is that possible? to add 4x 3TB drives and set it to raid? What about fusion drives? is this a good idea in raid?
Power supply: Corsair CS550M. Would I need to get a 650 watt just to be sure it wil hold up in future expansion?
Case: a big bad boy ATX. Haven't made a choice yet. What would you do?
FUTURE PART: GPU: GeForce GTX 760 (to expansive right now)
FUTURE PART: RAM: 2x 8GB RAM (Crucial Ballistix Sport XT) And I would like to over-clock to a higher Mhz. Is this ram right for that? Do I need more cooling?
FUTURE PART: CPU COOLER: I want to over-clock thei5 4670K to 4.xGhz to a stable point. I don't know to much about it at this point. Is the Corsair H60 a good choice?
Did I forget something? Possibly some fans? I don't have Bluetooth do I haha ?
I hope it makes cense! I would really like to become a Hackintosh guy haha!
Best regards from the Netherlands
