HP H8 with 3930K?

[who2host]

First of all I want to say thanks for an awesome community.

I just picked up an HP Pavilion Elite Series H8-1380T with a 3930k. My old Dell Inspiron 530 is finally getting replaced. I love running OSX on my Dell and I'm hoping that I can get it to work on this new machine. I couldn't pass up the processing power, as I do quite a bit of encoding and video editing. I'll drop the specs below. I already have an nvidea graphics card that I can throw in if I can't get it to work. Also, I have a gigabit card and I'll be using my PreSonus Firestudio mobile for audio (pci firewire card). Hopefully you guys can tell me something good .
