Hi guys,
I wanna advice for hw, I want to build my 1st hackintosh. I am using Apples computer for 6 years, wanted to buy iMac, but I was really disappointed about upgrading, so I decided go this path. I want computer, which is compatible as much as possible, and in same time not old (87 boards). So, for now, my setup looks like this:
GPU Sapphire Vapor-X Tri-X OC R9 280X 3GB
CPU Intel Core i7-4790K
MB GIGABYTE Z97X-SLI
RAM KINGSTON HYPER-X (K2) 16GB (8X2) 1600 MHz CL 10
I spent couple of days to choose GFX card. I want to use FCPX mainly for editing, AFAIK 290X is not ready yet (problem with two monitors), CPU is OK, for MB I choose this one, as couple of users reported it is OK.
I would like to know, if I need to order something more (except SSD/HDD, monitor, mouse and keyboard, tower, fan...), for example wifi card?
What you think about this setup, would you change something? I am not afraid with setup, I am programmer myself, and managed to install Mavericks on my old Macbook Early 2008 (which I believe just dozen of people was successful
Thanks
