Hi everyone, This is my first build, ever. I have a mid-2012 retina MBP and the battery will need replacing soon. It is hard for me to go a few days without a computer so I am not considering building a hackintosh. I am interested in staying with the i7 processor because my daily driver uses...

MY BACKGROUND I'm getting ready to do my first computer build from scratch, I have some experience with hardware upgrades (memory, storage, optical drives, usb ports), but I have always been able to find a pre-built system that suited my needs until now. I have not dealt much directly with the...

Chosen parts should get you a good working system. If you paln to dual boot suggest you get a SSD for each OS rather than installing on same drive. Saves you :banghead: when it comes time to update/upgrade your OS. Recommend getting your RAM as a 32GB kit rather than 16 now and 16 later.
