Ok First of all I want to say a huge thanks to Alfa, Middleman, Stork and all the many others who have made posts here.

Intel I5 3570K (not overclocked)
16gb (2x8) Cruicial Balistix Tracer - 1600mhz 8-8-8-24
MSI Radeon HD 7850 1GB Graphics Card (Working with Kekt and Rotation Fix)
256gb OCZ Vertex 4 - Windows 7
128gb SanDisk SSD - OSX 10.8.3 MP3.1
3TB Western Digital Green
2TB Western Digital Green
750gb Seagate Barracuda
500gb Seagate Barracuda
LG HL-DT-ST BD-RE GGW-H20L Blu Ray Drive
Microsoft LifeCam Studio 1080p
Microsoft Razer Reclusa keyboard
Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer
Samsung Syncmaster 2232BW Monitor (1680*1050)
LG DM2780D TV/Monitor (1920*1080)
Combo Wifi/Bluetooth Card that came with the Motherboard - Atheros AR9462?
Blackgold BGT 3620 - Dual HD TV Tuner Card (not yet installed - still in old pc)
Icute 500watt PSU (Priority on my list to be replaced!)
Ok I have a couple of problems and a couple of questions starting with problems:
1) When I try and sleep the mac - it appears to do it however I can not then wake it up, the keyboard lights up (the mouse also lights up but then goes straight off again) only a reset works, however if I enable the Intel 4000 graphics (and connect an old monitor to it) when doing sleep the main monitor (connected to HD7850) goes to sleep but the other monitor and keyboard etc all remain on, moving the mouse the monitor comes back to life - I don't know what I am doing wrong here?
2) All my hard drives except the boot drives are formatted in ExFat apart from the 3tb which will hangs on bios screen if formated to Ex-Fat - does anyone know if there is a way round this? perhaps making 2 paritions?
3) Has anyone managed to get the wifi combo card working - the blue tooth works fine (though the Logitec MX5000 Keyboard & Mouse require repairing each time I swap from OSX to Win 7) - while this is not very important at the moment it would be useful when I move into the halls of residence in September as they use Wifi for the internet. If not is there a combo card that does work?
4) The graphics seems to be working well though it just shows as "AMD Radeon HD 7xxx 1024 MB" is this right? and on this vein is it at all possible to get audio through the HDMI? - at the moment I am getting sound from headphones plugged in the front socket (from windows audio goes through HDMI into TV and from their into my home cinema setup).
5) On the whole I have no problem with the audio however when watching youtube videos in 1080 or BBC Iplayer after a while the audio goes out of sync.
6) I have not yet installed the TV card yet because I would like to know if anyone knows if this will work in OSX or most importantly would it stop OSX from working? I ask because it works great in Windows and I use it a lot as a PVR being in 1 room
7) as a side note which is the best System Definition to use? I only ask this as doing a Cinebench benchmark came up with a considerably higher score in Windows than OSX
8) Finally for future reference does Crossfire work in OSX - I ask because when not studying I do like playing games so would like to get another 7850 or 7870 for Christmas but don't want it to hamper the system.
Thanks again for all your help everyone

I apologise for noobishness this is my first hack and it's been a long time since using MacOS (my old mac was a Mac IIci) and changed to Windows because of College and work.
