Hi guys,
This is my first post and first hackintosh build!
Primarily this will be a didicated machine for FCP editing, and some work with Adobe Creative Suite(Photoshop, InDesign, AfterEffects). {EDIT} I'm now also considering primarily using Premiere CS5 since we shoot AVCHD and lots of it. My main priority is render speed and video transcoding efficiency. Here is the hardware and I am considering:
MOBO
GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
CPU
Intel Core i7-950 Bloomfield 3.06GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor BX80601950
GPU
E145-9504 ::EVGA 01G-P3-N959-TR GeForce 9500 GT Video Card - 1GB DDR2
{EDIT} XFX HD577AZNFC Radeon HD 5770 Video Card - 1GB GDDR5
RAM
Patriot P33-5305 - 8GB (2 x 4GB) PC3-12800, DDR3 1600MHz
{EDIT} CORSAIR XMS3 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel
OPTICAL
Sony Optiarc SATA Model AD-7260S-0B
HDD
Seagate ST31000524AS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5"
{EDIT}Seagate Barracuda ST3500413AS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5"
POWER
Ultra LSP650 650-Watt Power Supply - ATX, SATA-Ready, SLI-Ready, 135mm Fan
CASE
ULT40142 ::Ultra E-Torque ATX Mid-Tower Case
I've built lots of Wind0ze PC's but only worked on a Apple-made MBP for a few years. So I really want to try and buy hardware that will make this first one as painless as possible...
So does anyone see any potential problems or headaches? Or does anyone have any pointers specific to this setup?
Thanks in advance!
