I was wondering if this custom Mac Pro build of mine will work? It's almost complete clone of the one posted on the main page, exception being the video card. They are both GTX 560, just slightly different model numbers (Cuda cores). Will it still work?

It will be powered also by a 730W PSU. I'm not new to building computers (been doing so for years) hackintosh's on the other hand.... no success (yet).

Let me know!

Thanks!

It looks good, I would choose a GTX 560 Ti instead of the base one.

Thanks for the info.

If I wanted to go for the ti version, would this one work? http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127578&name=Desktop-Graphics-Cards

I see on the main page the links all point to evga branded cards. Will other ones work?

 

[Mate94]

It will, no problem.

Thanks again.

After some looking, i'll go with this one. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127578

Well, i'm up and running, but with a crutch (USB drive)

I followed the guide for MultiBeast with Mountain Lion and have it successfully installed and working, just can't boot it without the USB drive. I have in my mobo UEFI settings set to the P:M Drive (Legacy option) and when I boot I get some weird 6 lines or so of error, repeated twice.

Or something like that. Not too sure where I can go from here to fix it. Anyone have any advice?
