Hello,
I've studied the customac guide for may 2014 and I'd like to express some of my concerns about a build I'm going to do. I've chosen the following parts, but before I buy them I want to know some things. It's a budget thing so I'd prefer to not replace any part with another that would increment the cost. So:
INTEL CORE I3-4330 3.50GHZ LGA1150
GIGABYTE GA-Z87X-D3H OR MSI Z87-G43 RETAIL
CRUCIAL (2X4GB) DDR3 1600MHZ BALLISTIX SPORT XT DUAL CHANNEL KIT
ASUS GT640-2GD3 2GB
What I'd like to know is if that native support without driver modification (as the guide says) about the graphics cards recommended including my GT640 , means that I won't need to install any kext at all. And if no, is there any kext available? Is it known if there will be future support for this GPU?
About the audio controller that comes with this motherboard, is it possible to make it work with 5.1 sound? Natively maybe (the reason to recommend it)? I'd very much like to hear that. And what about microphone? Will 3.5mm audio ports work?
Is MSI motherboard compatible too? I'd like to buy MSI to lower the cost.
Last question, will the ethernet work? I can't find a kext for the specific ethernet. Or I am blind.
I have in mind to install latest mavericks and update it to later upcoming major os x versions!
Thanks in advance!
