Hey guys!
I'm very excited to have confirmed my Amazon order for my first-ever Hackintosh.
These are the parts I have ordered:
SSD: OCZ SSD OCZ mSATA Nocti Series 120GB
Power supply: Corsair HX 650 W
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-Z68XP-UD3 GIGABYTE
Memory: CORSAIR DDR3 1600MHz 16GB 4x240 DIMM
CPU: Intel CPU Core i7 i7-2600K 3.4GHz 8M LGA1155 SandyBridge
Graphics card: GIGABYTE AMD Radeon HD6870 1GB PCI-E DVI HDMI DisplayPort
Media storage: Seagate Barracuda 7200 Series3.5inch SATA 6Gb/s 1TB 7200rpm
Unit: CORSAIR Carbide Series 500R
Optical drive: Sony Optiarc BD-R Drive BD-5300S
The components are almost exactly the same as CustoMac Pro Build No.2 but with a bigger SSD.
I'm hoping to have a dual-boot Windows 7 / SL system, the PC side for gaming and the Mac side for media creation (particularly video editing)
I was wondering whether there is a step-by-step guide for putting together these components and configuring the system once they arrive?
I am a complete noob, so any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers
Paul
