Recording Studio (GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UP5 TH)

[boathouse]

Im having a friend buy all the componets because he was about to spend $2k+ on Apple.com for some nice build quality but shotty performance compared to what can be achieved buy building a hackintosh.

Told him to go with that MOBO because its beast, dsdt, has thunderbolt, and its a premium board, thats a big important part and you dont skimp on the MOBO.

Just a i5 with HD 4000 Graphics.

A few HDDs for storage and SSD for boot.

I just want someone to look over the list I made and make sure everything is in check, my friend said he would order this tonight.

Why not wait 'till next week. When Haswell gets support, you can get yourself a 87 board.

I thought of that but just for the sake of compatability and surety that it will work I went this this MOBO n the IVY bridge.

 

[MrBlonde]

That's true, but if you can wait a month, it will be worth the extra features Those boards are promising

 

[boathouse]

nah, im pretty sure he orderd everything on that list already. soo haha idk does this build look promising for audio editing?

 

[jester969]

It seems he wants his recording studio up and running. No troubleshooting time to put in on a new birthing build.

 

[boathouse]

Yea, just want to make sure this is a good build. I think the mobo is beast imo because of the thunderbolt.

 

[boathouse]
