I’m getting ready to purchase the parts for a new CustoMac (first I’ve attempted) and I’m looking at a few variations off of the February 2014 Buyer’s Guide for a CustoMac Pro (ATX).
It’s basically the same list that’s there, but with a few variations, so it’s the variations that have me slightly nervous. I’ll format the variations to make them easy to see.
Here’s the list I’m looking at:
I’m pretty sure this will be fine, but juuuuuuuust in case there’s anything I’m missing by changing that graphics card to the GTX 770, I thought I’d check with the good folks here.
Is there any reason I'm missing that I shouldn't go with this list?
And, by the way, I’m intending to use this for video editing and photo retouching, using Premiere Pro CC, Photoshop, Aftereffects, and possibly Final Cut Pro X.
Of course I’ve seen some interesting things in the forums about the Thunderbolt ports on that board, and that CPU, but I’m not finding anything that scares me off of this. Please let me know if you see anything I’m missing.
Thanks!
