I thought to go for Shilloh's build for Eric, but it doesn't feel good to buy three year old hardware.
Especially because I'd want enough 6GB sata/ USB3.0 for video editing (soon 4k) I would need to go for an expensive x79 board, while most X99 already have those things standard.
I know there is no 'official' support for X99 yet, but I'd like a new computer soon and am willing to use it first on Windows (as I still can use my Mac Pro)
@TRS96 wrote some weeks ago it could take 6 months to a year for the x99 to work, though @tonymacx86 did write a first guide http://www.tonymacx86.com/mavericks...ard-temporary-guide-os-x-10-9-4-10-9-5-a.html
and people like @samtimbaud have it working. (and I think @InsaneCultist too?)
I've read that @sofoalex @Going Bald @TEAMSWITCHER are also planning to buy the x99, so I hope to hear your opinion. Any advice on the hardware list below (that has a better chance to hack in the future) is welcome.
Intel Core i7-5930K / 3.5 GHz
ASUS X99-DELUXE (or is Gigabyte still recommended/ more easy to hack?)
MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G (or MSI GTX 770 4GB, if that makes a better hackintosh chance)
Crucial - DDR4 SDRAM 2 x 8 GB - DIMM 288-PIN - 2133 MHz / PC4-17000 - CL15 - 1.2 V - ECC
(as DDR4 is expensive, I will start with this and can buy more of those later. 2x16GB isn't more wise, because there are 8 Dimms, with 64GB max anyway, right? )
Pioneer BDR-209DBK a (or is there a better 'hackintosh' bluray burner, as I heared negative things about LG Internal UH12NS30)Noctua NF-F12 PWM
Noctua NH-D14 SE2011 (or any newer/ quiet one)
Samsung 840 Pro Series MZ-7PD256
2x Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001 (in Raid)
Fractal Design Define R4
Microsoft Windows 8 Pro
A store will build it for me. I would have to do the hackintosh part myself (later on a different drive)
2. If I'd had to work on Windows first, does anyone know how changing between Mac/ Windows platform is nowadays? Fonts still an issue I suppose, are Premiere Pro CS6 projects/ files easy to work on 'cross platform'. Is it nowadays possible to export to Quicktime (ProRes) from PC?
Many thanks!
