Advice on Motherboard, RAM & parts choice
Hi there,
My salary just came in and my savings have piled up to be enough to finally start the adventure of building a Hackintosh.
I have decided on these parts:
CPU: i7-4970K
And need help deciding on the following ones to match my requirements:
CPU Cooling:
* Liquid
[?] i was checking out the H100i and H110 so far
RAM:
* 32GB
[?] Clock speed, the 4970k states 1600MHz as memory speed, is there a valid point in buying a faster ram anyways or just a waste of money?
MoBo
* mATX
* Working Thunderbolt port (i own peripherals which i dont want to be a waste)
* Support MacOS & Windows dual boot
* 4 HD slots (2x SSD for OS', 2x physical for data)
* support the ram mentioned above
* wifi compatibility if possible but i am also ready to spring for a wifi card
GPU:
* CUDA support
* min 2GB Ram
* 4K support (60 Hz)
[?]i was looking at this one: http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=04G-P4-3768-KR
questions:
what MoBo & RAM would you recommend, and what do you think about my Cooler & GPU choice?
