The basic spec is straight out of the burrs guide - so it is going to run fine. You will need to set the VT-d setting in the UEFI/BIOS to disabled, otherwise it will not boot. Use a USB 2 flash drive in one of the rear USB 2 ports for the install.

Good Luck :thumbup:

Thank you :) , I hate to not know what im doing so could you please tell what is " VT-d " ? If you donُt mind and another thing Im planing to use this as an editing machine with premier pro cc would this machine run smoothly? to produce videos like this: [video=youtube;tDUu2BFYNTY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDUu2BFYNTY&list=UUfiK2niG0XnPuXnYkIyBYLw& feature=c4-overview[/video]

:) my budget is about 750 dollars so thats why im kinda of choosing my components wisely, I chose the 640 because of the 384 cuda cores and I really am not a gamer so I will not need the top of the line graphics. .

You can use search for more information on VT-d. There is no software that Apple uses that requires it and it is a major cause of kernel panics on PCs running OS X. It is not required - you are not missing out on anything worth having. Just make sure that you disable it.

I see no problem using your build for video editing, while I myself have not done any video editing on a computer, I can see no reason why this should not work. See the video forum for more info and theca the apps wbsite for supported hardware. The GT640 should be fine for your needs, some people do use a GTX 650 instead.
