1st Build for ADOBE CS6 and Gaming Dual Boot Win/OSX
This will be my first attempt at a dual boot Windows and OSX machine so let me know if this hardware looks hackable, Thanks!
Is there any issue with using G.Skill Ripjaws RAM instead of the Corsair? There seems to be a bit of price difference.
Also for budget purposes I might go for EVGA 02G-P4-2645-KR GeForce GT 640 2GB 128-bit DDR3
Still need advice on a compatible optical drive, right now I've got: LG Black 18X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R
Thanks for any advice/help y'all can offer, super excited to get buildin!
P.S. This machine will be used for about 50/50 windows:gaming/mac:graphic design
