So im thinkin bout selling this hackintosh and buying all new parts to build a newer better one. Just seein if you guys got any advice. I want to run 10.8.5 and Windows 7 64bit on seperate drives. Mostly Much better gaming/editing/overclocking machine is what i want to build.

Current Hackintosh:

Z77 ds3h Gigabyte
Corsair 1600Mhz 8Gb
500Gb sata drive osx
evga gtx 760 2gb sc
corsair cx500
Zalman Cpu cooler
i5 3570k
Corsair 200r case
Acer 22' 60hz monitor

Parts Ive been looking at:

i7 3770k
16gb corsair ram (speed?) 1866mhz?
corsair c300 windowed
corsair rm850 psu
GIGABYTE GA-Z87X-UD3H
Corsair H100i cpu cooler
GTX 780 or possibly the 790 once it comes out next year?
and a good gaming monitor 24'+ 120-144hz? asus or benq?
and maybe sound card?

thanks for any advice.
 
Looks pretty cool! One thing I noticed, a Z87 mobo has the LGA 1150 socket and a core i7 3770k has a LGA 1155 socket. You need to get a Haswell processor to go along with an 87 mobo.
 
so that would be more money then right
 
Yeah. Either that or you go with a 77 mobo. But then you're not getting the newer socket in case you want to upgrade the cpu later and keep the mobo.
 
yeah i might as well go with z77 board because I dont wanna really redo my hackintosh drive and someone told me it should work with other z77 boards ect.
