I'm planning on building my first computer...posted in here like a week ago. These are the parts that I'm thinking of getting:
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core $189.99
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper TX3 54.8 CFM Sleeve Bearing $17.99
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 ATX LGA1155 $127.86
Memory: Corsair XMS3 8GB (4 x 2GB) DDR3-1600 $59.99
Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Green 1.5TB 3.5" 5400RPM $118.42
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 680 2GB $507.55
Power Supply: Cougar 560W ATX12V $68.63
Optical Drive: Asus BW-12B1ST/BLK/G/AS Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Writer $69.98
Monitor: Acer S231HLbid 23.0" $159.99
- are these parts all compatible with running MacOS? I hear that the GTX 680 is incompatible with MacOS, are there any graphics cards that are on par or more powerful than it that are compatible? because I also would like to dual boot into windows to use this as a gaming pc that can run games in ultra settings. thanks!
- are there any unneccesary parts that i can cut/get cheaper?
