Hello all!
I am studying Computer Science with a focus on hardware developing so I have to do a lot of compiling, simulating and CAS-work. Since certain simulations take forever on my mid 2009 MacBook Pro (which is hotter than hell while doing it) I thought of building myself a hackintosh, but can't go over 1500$ (I am buying in austria so make that 1200 euros).
Also, I would like to run Windows 8.1, Ubuntu and CentOS on the same machine (more Linux-flavours to be added). I will use the machine mostly for work but would like it to be also ready for some gaming (since my PS3 is down for maintenance every 3-4 weeks).
I thought of the following configuration and am looking for advice in compatibility, bang/buck ratio and general advice how to get more out of my money.
Thanks for the help!
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B85M-D3H (72.90 Euros)
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790k (314 Euros)
GPU: Gigabyte Geforce GTX 660 OC (179,90 Euros)
Case: Zalman T1 Plus (24,99 Euros)
Memory: G.Skill DIMM 16 GB DDR3-1600 (2x8 GB, 132,90 Euros) - Does it make sense taking 32GB?
Storage (3 SSDs and 1 HDD):
for Mac: ADATA Premier Pro SP900 128GB SSD (58,90 Euros)
for Win: ADATA Premier Pro SP900 128GB SSD (58,90 Euros)
for various Linux flavours: ADATA Premier Pro SP900 128GB SSD (58,90 Euros)
for Data: Intenso 2TB HDD (68,90 Euros)
Power Supply: Thermaltake Smart SE 530W (49,99 Euros)
Optical Drive: LG GH-24NS (14,99 Euros)
Wifi-Card: TP-LINK TL-WN851ND (13,99 Euros) - Is there a good bluetooth + Wifi card for Hackintosh out there?
