Hi everyone, I'm up to CustoMac Budget ATX, unfortunately the RAM presented here is not available at my location, I've chosen the BLS2K4G3D169DS3, what other ram would be compatible? I've found next - BLS2C4G3D169DS3CEU, will this RAM be compatible? Thanks in advance

does anyone know if Asus sabertooth x79 works with intel i7-4930k??? any issues??

I don't think any one has gotten an i7-4930k to work yet. As I've been researching it looks like it's just not ready yet... but close.

GTX 760 has performance issues... like some other 7xx -> don't buy it, if you want to have a fast system ....

What issues? If there were any serious issues, macx86 guys wouldn't have posted in here for months.

Hi Tony

Great post... I am very interested in building the CustoMini Deluxe and have a case I would particularly love to use but I have one problem regarding the Graphics Card recommended for this build and can't find a suitable alternative in the recommendations.

The case I am interested in has a Max size of 200mm Length for the Graphics Card - wonder could you recommend an alternative to the GeForce GTX 760 that would be 200mm or less?

Please see the intended case - wonder if you think it would be suitable?: http://www.xigmatek.com/product.php?productid=219&type=specification


Thanks a million.

A couple questions, ps4 controller? Really? Now I want to get the Bluetooth working, and on that note I have the h87n wifi rev2 pulled the bt/wifi card and was wondering if that could be replaced with a mini Pcie ssd for start up, and would it be better then a sata 3 ssd?
