Hello,
Looking for a little advice before undertaking a big hackintosh build. I have made up this spec from the $1200 build listed in this site, with a few changes. Please see the spec below :
Motherboard : Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H
Processor : Intel Core i7 (870) 2.93GHz
Heatsink : Scythe Mugen Mugen
RAM : Corsair 16Gb DDR3 1600Mhz
Graphics : Radeon HD 5770 1Gb DDR5
SSD : Crucial 64Gb M4 Solid State Drive
HDD : 2 x Western Digital 2TB 7200 RPM
Optical : LG 10x BD/DVD/CD Writer with LightScribe
PSU : Corsair 650W Power Supply
Case : Fractal Design Core 3000
Cables : Will be purchased as needed, Serial ATA etc)
Cooling : Air via 3 Fans (1 front, 1 bottom and 1 back)
OS : OS X Lion 10.7 (will be out by the time this is built)
Keyboard : Apple Bluetooth Keyboard
Mouse : Apple magic trackpad
Couple of queries before buying components :
1. The build I started with, had 8Gb of RAM, could i have 16? If so, what configuration and make?
2. I have chosen to have a 64Gb SSD for my OS drive - will this work?
3. Am I wasting time/money having a Blu-Ray drive?
4. What solutions are there for Wifi, Bluetooth?
5. Would a Firewire 800 card work in this, or should i stick with eSata on motherboard?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
