[1st Build] Budget CustomMacMini - Advices
Hello, few days ago I get an idea to buy new computer, so I started to search more on internet about Hackintoshs and I end up here. Sorry for incorecet English and thanks for help
So I need some budget machine for W7 and OSX. W7 for some games (low-mid details are ok) and FL studio. OSX for photoshop and everything else.
Motherboard:
MSI B85M-E43 DASH or Gigabyte GA-H81M-HD3 or something like that. Any better advice (max.70$) ?
I know that GA-H87N-WIFI is better for upgrade, but right now, I dont have money and I dont need more SATAs and RAM GB. Only I will need is slot for wifi and graphic card.
CPU:
Intel Core i3-4330
Is it better to buy i3 or some older cpu + nVidia GeForce 640/650 or its better for future upgrade to buy i3 and then something like GeForce GTX 660?
CPU Cooler:
Thermaltake Slim X3
RAM:
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz (1x 8GB)
Drives:
Right now I have got "Seagate Momentus 5400.6 250GB HDD 2.5", 5400RPM, SATA/300 NCQ, 8MB", some WD 320GB (but its maybe broken) and external 1TB HP Simple Save.
Is it ok ? In few months I will buy some SSD.
Case + Power Supply:
SPIRE PowerCube (same like Apex MI-008 but with 300W PS)
Is it better to buy bigger box then mini-itx becouse of temperature or it has no influnce? How many 2.5 HDD can I put in ?
Wifi Card:
TP-Link PCI Express Wifi Adapter or I can use EDUP EP-N8508 / Asus USB-N10 etc.?
Keyboard + Mouse:
Is it possible to use normal pc keyboard and mouse ?
Thanks for any advices and have a nice day ;D
