So my 2009 Macbook Pro (very much loved, its been great to me since my freshman year) is really starting to show its age, especially while video editing even with a Samsung 840 Evo SSD (the only upgrade) Still has only 2GBs of ram too..
Anyways I am looking into building my first computer. The purpose of the build is to be able to dual-boot Mac OS X and Windows. I don't want to break the bank, I just want to be able to get some very good performance for the price as far as PC gaming while on Windows and video editing in OS X using Final Cut Pro+Compressor+Motion.
I have some parts in my amazon cart for a reference attached below. I know I probably need a quad core processor, but I don't know if I want to spend that much for one. I started looking around for different ones and I really don't know if they would be compatible with the motherboard im currently looking at, so yeah im kind of confused. Really need recommendations for a graphics card that works on 10.9.3! If you guys could recommend one that wont completely break my bank itd be appreciated.
