Hello, you all.
I am considering a hackintosh for myself, but I really do not know too much about hardware and such. Though I certainly am able to find it all if I know what to look for...
Hence I need some advice and recommendations on what to look for. I will be using the machine for picture rendering, graphic design and other normal uses. (And probably some GuildWars2 gaming). My old MacBook is really struggeling at times, so I will need a new machine sooner or later. I have read the CustoMac tables (and found them very helpful!), but as a newbie I could need some more specific directions. I would be really happy for some budget recommendations of what I will need.
This is what I have found until now:
Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3V, Socket-1155
Intel Core i7-950 Processor
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 8GB CL9
Samsung SSD 830 Series 128GB 2.5" OEM
Corsair CX 430W PSU
I really have no idea of what most of this means, but I foresee this as a very educational journey.
PS. I will use Mountain Lion.
Thanks!
