Hi guys,
Need some advice. I'm going to be building this setup in the next week. Just wanted to know if anyone has had any troubles with the Graphics card I'm getting and also, if having a 3TB HDD and 1 SSD (250GB) is going to give me some problems. I'm a User interface designer & developer. Basically, my idea for the SSD would be to have 2 partitions on it. Yosemite and Windows ratio of 60% of space for Yosemite and 40% for windows. The HDD I'd split it into 3, 1 for windows storage, games and applications, 2 for OSX storage and other applications and a 3rd for OSX Time Machine backups. Will I have trouble installing applications on the HDD for OSX, how does that work? Is this even possible and if so am I doing it the right way?
Here is my list of components:
