Hello
I am building a replacement for my Mac Mini. I wish to know which graphics cards are 1) supported currently in all versions of El Capitan without Nvidia's drivers and 2) are as much compatible backwards as possible?
Is GT 740 my only chance? Or could I go with GT 730? Or which 6xx series cards should I attempt to get? Am I good with any 6xx that is 640 or greater?
I want an Apex MI case, so I don't want anything too big. Or you can suggest any case that is less than 17 cm (6.7 in) high and less than 34 cm (13.4 in) wide.
I will use a Noctua low profile cooler. I'll purchase a Corsair SF450 power supply if the included supply does not accept 230 V.
Will Haswell or Skylake give me better compatibility with current Yosemite and El Capitan versions? I assume I need the most recent El Capitan for Skylake and I have no problem going with a Haswell if that will save me any trouble or uncertainty.
Also, which Apex MI do you think looks best?
[Update 1]
I need a Mini-ITX motherboard. Now that there are more recommended brands than just Gigabyte, are they all equally good?
Do I need to go with Skylake to have 4k 60 Hz output from the CPU's integrated graphics?
