A little background
- Dual boot system - Mavericks OSX and Windows 8.1
- Used for - Audio workstation (OSX) and Gaming (Win 8)
- Being built in a G5 case (already bought a conversion kit from thelaserhive)
A few last minute questions
- AMD 280x or nVidia 770 GTX? I know I get a little more FPS with the 280x, but am likely to have more stability under OSX with nVidia right? What are your opinions?
- If I decided to add another GFX card, for SLI, would 660w be enough? Or am I looking for something in the 700's?
- Is there a better option now for the CPU cooler? I looked into coolers about 3 months ago, so I'm a little out of touch. I need as quiet as possible as it's an audio workstation rig.
- Any suggestions for monitors would be nice as well, currently looking at 2x Dell Ultrasharp 24" or a Dell Ultrasharp 29"
