So, I currently have a 2017 13" MacBook Pro and it's been working just fine for what I've used it for since I got it. Lately, though, I've been doing more complicated tasks and a couple of months ago when it took nearly an hour to do a 4-second long masking transition in Adobe Premiere, I decided to start researching for a custom build.
My goal is to have a powerful and as silent as possible computer with room for eventual upgrades. It also shouldn't be overly expensive and, since its a custom build, it'll look awesome.
I mostly took parts from the Buyer's Guide on here, but I do have a couple of questions I would like answered. The plan is to use OS X Mojave.
Anyway, here's the parts list:
CPU: i7 8700K
CPU cooler: Noctua NH-D15s
GPU: Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX580
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z390 Gaming M
Ram: Crucial Ballistix Sport 32gb kit (2x 16gb sticks) 2666MHz
Boot drive: Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500gb
Storage: Samsung 860 QVO 1tb SSD
Fans: 4x Corsair ML Pro LED white 140mm
PSU: Corsair RM650x
Case: Corsair Crystal 280x white
My biggest questions are:
Does anyone know a good Bluetooth card that would work with my build? Since I am planning to use a wireless mouse and an Apple trackpad
Do the Corsair led fans I mentioned work? I'm assuming they do, but I couldn't find any exact confirmation anywhere.
And does anyone who has a RX580 know if I could use both an ultrawide 3440 x 1440 monitor and a 1080p one?
And of course, if anyone knows some of my parts aren't compatible, I would love to know.
Thanks in advance!
