Hello everybody :)
I am puting together my very first build ever. I have used my MacBook the last 4 years, but it doesn't live up to my needs anymore. The goal for this build is to dualboot OSX and Windows 7. OSX will be for my everyday use, work/study and my creative projects (photo and video edeting and a little bit of webdesinging). Windows 7 would be exclusively for gaming.

I havent bought anything yet, but here is my shopping list:
Mother Board:
Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP5 TH
CPU:
i7 3770K
CPU cooler:
Corsair CWCH100
GPU:
EVGA 02G-P4-2678-KR GeForce GTX 670 FTW
RAM:
CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB)
SSD:
OCZ Agility 3
HDD:
Seagate Barracuda 2TB, 7200 rpm, 6BG/s
WIFI:
TP-link TL-WDN4800
Optivcal Drive:
Sony AD-7280S-0B
PSU:
Corsair HX650W
CASE:
Corsair 600T (white)

So.. I am asking anybody with some experince, on there thougths on this. I have read up on all of the components, and they should be compatable with eachother and work with OSX (10.8.2). If they aren't, please tell me!

Any help, advise or useful comment is very much appreciated :D
 
:thumbup: Build it and enjoy.
