Parts Round Three...

[misscordi]

So, for bg I have built computers before, but this is my first attempt at a hackintosh. I started getting ready to build after Adam Pash's feature of Tony and iBoot back in November, and attempted to go straight from Adam's parts list, but to make a long story short this is what I've got:

Processor: Intel Core i7-950 Bloomfield 3.06GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor BX80601950
Board: GA-X58A-UD3R LGA 1366 X58 ATX
Memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3
Case: Antec Sonata III 500 Black 0.8mm cold rolled steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 500W Power Supply
LITE-ON Black 24X DVD+R
Seagate Barracuda 1.5TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5"

I'm stuck on the GFX card - trying to decide between:

• EVGA nVidia GeForce GTS 250 1GB DDR3
  EVGA nVidia GeForce GT 220 1 GB DDR3
  Asus nVidia GeForce GTS250
  ASUS Geforce GT240 PCI-E 2.0 1 GB DDR3

My two biggest concerns are ease OOB and graphics, not necessarily in that order (Looking to play World of Warcraft).

Thanks for your help!

For one, I'd go with DDR5 for the graphics card and I wouldn't get a GT220 as it's just too slow for the price. If I had a bunch-o-money I'd try a GeForce GTX 285 1GB. Also, make sure that Lite-On is a REAL Lite-On and not a fake/NEC. My Asus DRW 24B3LT is really just a good old Lite-On with an Asus badge on it.
