I'm thinking of doing the same thing, similar budget, for a video editing machine. Curious as to what the most powerful CPU while still maintaining full compatibility will be.

I'm already on 10.8.2

So I should disable the Open CL Kext and try again with LuxMark? How do you disable those kexts? I REALLY want to take advantage of my graphics card when using Premiere, PS, other Adobe programs.

Thanks for your help! I returned the card that was faulty and immediately after I got the new one it worked! Did a Cinebench test and got about 49+ fps. Is there a way to make sure that OpenCL and everything is working properly? I downloaded LuxMark v2.0 and it says no OpenCL device is...

I have a Corsair AX650 Gold. I think 650W should be enough, no? UPDATE: I q-flashed my Bios to F11. Followed the procedures on the UP5 thread again, set GraphicsEnabler=No, Installed the new NVIDIA drivers for ML 10.8.2 released recently (today I think?) even modified the...

Thanks. I'll try that. I used that guide for the most part while setting up. I removed and installed the card a few times making sure it's seated correctly. Problem is every time I disable on-board graphics, and plug in my DVI to the 660 Ti, I don't even get to the BIOS, I can never see a...

Hey all! Just finished my first build! Well almost finished. I bought an MSI 660 Ti and I can't seem to get it recognized by the system. My motherboard is the GA-Z77X-UP5-TH and I'm running ML 10.8.2. I'm not the best at all this so could someone maybe give me a quick guide as to the order of...

Here's my updated parts list on an Amazon wishlist. I changed the Ram to 2x8GB so I can upgrade to 32 later (actually cheaper because it's not blue??:lol:), and on here are some other components I won't buy immediately (extra Optical Drive, Trackpad, webcam, 2nd monitor)...

Haha wow thanks for the recommendations :) I actually really like the way the AOC looks and the colors should be great with that contrast ratio, but I'm not comfortable buying a monitor with only 2 hdmi ports I think. I wanna buy two identical monitors and I think my board only has one HDMI port...

Wow. That's quite detailed and helpful thanks! I think 4.4-4.5 is good enough for me lol. I am upgrading from a 2.0Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo so this will be heavenly for me. You guys have been very helpful, feel more comfortable with my components now. Now I'm just scared or anxious about the...

Okay, thanks! That saves me about $40, and you're sure it's cool enough for the 3770k? I know that gets hotter than others. As far as monitors you're right, I can get a Logitech C615 webcam for $50. And I was looking into the Dell S2330MX ultra slim monitor. I know it's not the hugest contrast...

I probably should've mentioned, I want the option to Overclock, which I might do to get faster encoding times, in which case the liquid cooling is a must I've read. Just fans won't do it. I'm really unsure what to do for monitor(s). I know I want dual-monitors and I'd love it if one of them...

Thanks for the forum referrals! Looks useful. Do you have the HD4000 graphics as well as a GPU enabled? I got the 660 from the CustoMac list as well, I just don't have the extra $200 for the 680 to spend (and is the performance that huge a difference?). And thanks, I think I'll get that...

Piggy back all you want! I just saw that thread, I think it may be wise for me to spend an extra 50 and get the UP5H. I currently don't need Thunderbolt but as someone in the video industry I know it'd be future-proof to get a couple ports. Also the UP5 has bluetooth working (though not wi-fi...

I am thinking of components for my first build (started a thread earlier today) and was looking at the UP4, so would you suggest I shell out an extra $50 on my motherboard for the UP5 if that one has 0 problems, or will I be missing out on something or lose some compatibility?
