Hi Guys, I have been using macs for a very long time and haven't built a pc since my last P4 Prescott which was in 05 I want to say... I was waiting for my dual 2.5 G5 to die before building a hack but it won't die. It is however, very very slow. Im really scared to get into a new build but found one for sale. Here are the parts being used. I did look them up and they seem to be 'older' components. Please let me know your thoughts on the gear and running 10.8 on it.
Gigabyte ga-ep45-ds3l
2.67 Q9400 Core2Quad
4gb Ram
Geforce 9600
500Gb drive with MT. Lion installed.
Seller said bench marks were 6600-6700 and the price is $400.00
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I am just looking to replace my G5 which is primarily used for web surfing, Photoshopping and other lite chores.... I have a Mac Pro i use for my primary work which is a producer of music for tv and film and some remixing for artists. So, long winded, yes but will it work and thoughts on price and the parts?
Sorry for the long post. Just nervous about the parts and the price and the 'what if something goes wrong' aspect of it all...
Thanks in advance.
