Hi everybody!
First, sorry if i'm not making sense or making mistakes, English is not my native tongue (I'm French).
I've owned Macs for Five years (iMac 24" Core2Duo , iMac 27" Core i7 and Macbook Pro 15" Core i7). I've been very pleased with them but I'm becoming very frustrated by the non-upgradable aspect of those Macs and I don't have the budget for a Mac pro. I already put a SSD and more ram in my MB but it's graphic card is no where near powerfull enough...
So I've made the decision to join in the fun of building a hackintosh . My goal is to have a powerful computer that is fully upgradable and has all the bells and whistles of a modern "pro" computer (USB 3, e-Sata, Thunderbolt...).
I'm using DaVinci Resolve which relies only on cuda power. So the video card (cards?) is gonna be a very important aspect.
So my questions are mostly related to the video card. Which compatible card would be the best for Cuda Power? I've read that the latest GTX are crippled to incite people to buy more expensive Quadro's. So I'm a little lost in the jungle of cards that's in front of me. Same old question: which is the best??
Other than that is you have recommendations regarding Motherboard, CPU or any other component I would be very glad to hear them
For the moment I think I'm gonna go the Core i7-3770K way with the maximum ram I can buy (determined by what are the other components of course...)
Thank you in advance for your advices and time.
