So i have been looking into making a customac for a while but could not afford the parts until now. I would like a final view on the parts i choose as to compatibility with each other / mac, and which are the best choices.
I based this build off of the 2011 buyers guide using integrated parts from the pro builds but mostly from the i5 build.
Case:
Corsair carbide series 400r
HDD:
Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
Video Card:
GIGABYTE Ultra Durable VGA Series GV-R685OC-1GD Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity
Power Supply:
CORSAIR Professional Series HX750 (CMPSU-750HX) 750W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS SILVER Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
RAM:
CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B
CPU:
intel core i5 2500k
Motherboard:
I am a bit still undecided about the Mobo between:
GIGABYTE GA-Z68XP-UD3 ATX Intel Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 ATX Intel Motherboard
and
GIGABYTE GA-Z68XP-UD3P ATX Intel Motherboard
