OK, I've done a bit of research. From what I can see, I could be more horsepower with a Xeon, but I decided to propose an i7 on a GA-Z77X-UP5-TH MoBo. I really want that Thunderbolt going into the future.
Primary purposes: Video editing (FCPX), Motion, Photoshop and 3D rendering. An occasional round of Starcraft II.
I am working with a pretty generous $4K budget, including monitor. Please alert me to any potential problems and feel free to suggest any improvements as I am not a experienced Hackintosher.
