Hi people, i'm completely new to hardware configuration and building. I've been a mac user for many years now but i've never really "looked" inside to see how they really worked. Today, i'd like to do something new and really exciting but i would like to submit to you my own configuration before i make a big mistake. I've followed the tonymac buyer's guide (except for the ram and HD > by the way, can it be a pb?).


I want to use exclusively C4D and after effects with this computer (and also photshop of course)? Will it be powerful enough? Is there component to change to have best performances? I've also doubts about the noise such a system should make. Do you think i would have to change components to improve this aspect? Unfortunately i can't spend much more money than this so would like to stay around 1500/1600€.


I hope you'll have some time to answer my questions.

Always check the board manufacturer's recommended RAM list on the web site before purchasing RAM. This may avoid expensive mistakes.
For instance, your board / RAM spec is dual channel - Dominator RAM is quad channel.
Also, there have been problems with Corsair RAM and 10.9.2 during installation.
Crucial RAM is now recommended brand. See the Buyer's guide.
 
wow, thxs for this information, i didn't know. I'll check that.
All other comments are welcome
