I'm looking to build my first hackintosh machine with one intel's ivy bridge cpus. As I began my search for components I came across I good deal at micro center where I could purchase a 3570k for $189.99 or a 3770k for $289.99. Additionally if I pair the 3570k with the GA-Z77X-UD3H LGA 1155 Z77 ATX Intel Motherboard, the motherboard would only cost $114.99.
The total cost for the 3570k and the gigabyte motherboard comes out to $317.98 which seems like an incredible deal.
Now from what I have seen in the forums gigabyte looks like a great choice for building a system with ivy bridge. However, from tonymac86x ivy bridge motherboard recommendations he does not mention this one, so I didn't know if there was a reason for this?
Additionally I plan on using my hackintosh for gaming as well as video editing. I understand that the 3770k is recommended for video editing since it supports hyper threading. I make 3-5 minute youtube videos a few times a week and didn't know how beneficial the 3770k would be over the 3570k. I use final cut pro x for most of my video editing.
Would you guys recommended going with the 3770k? I'm leaning towards the 3750k since I can purchase it with the gigabyte motherboard (if it is compatible) and save a good amount of money. I was hoping to use my savings towards a better graphics card for gaming. Would a better graphics card have any effect when editing video in final cut pro x?
Thanks for your help!
