Hi guys, I'm planning to build a Hachintosh based on the "CustoMac Pro" system, according to the recommended component list, the high-end motherboards are quite expensive for me, so I was wondering if I could use a lower level motherboard like GIGABYTE GA-Z77-DS3H (which is listed for the "CustoMac Budget" )to build up this system? Could you please help me to confirm it?
In my system I will use the i5-3570K, 8G RAM, Asus 650Ti graphic card, one SSD and a 2T HDD, in this case my second question is can I use only a 600W Corsair PSU, because the recommended Corsair 650W PSU could be quite noisy according the reviews online, and a 750W PSU will be a waste in this system I suppose, also the biggest concern about my next computer is, I really want it to be as quiet as possible. So could you give me some advise on this as well? If the 600W PSU will not supply enouph power, can you tell me some alternative choices? Thanks.
The third concern is, if I use Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse, can they wake up the Hachitosh when it's asleep? Or the non-wireless device would be more reliable? Or the Hachitosh is not supposed to be asleep at all?
Thank you very much in advance for your generous help.
