Some help on a risky business?

[uriel529]

Hi guys! I've been planing to build a hackmac since I was 18 (thats 4 years from now) and now I got gutsy enough to go ahead and do it with a friend of mine...

since I'm into video editing, I do need a real beast of a computer that can withhold a lot of activity.... so I decided to put all the money into it (Argentina, my country is an expensive one) and this is the build I'm going for; I really, really hope you can help me out... this is not easy especially when it's about the money... and I wanna make a lasting inversion and prevent myself from making dumb mistakes..


in my country this build is 25000 AR$, which is U$a 4550 (more or less)... I can't screw up.. I need it to work properly, I'm investing years of savings... it'd outbest most computers in the Argentinian Market (if not all), what I'm aiming for is an video/3Danimation edition lab (is that how it's called?? here we call them islas de edicion), and my dream is to have my own studio...

​

do you think it'll work out? do you think that i might encounter any problems?
it is the recommended build in tonymac's buyer guide... with maybe some small tweak

also, I've heard the Motherboard has wifi installed from the get-go, but i'm gessing it aint compatible...

I'm planning on installing mountain lion, I know I won't get it to sleep (..and what else?), but anyways, I'm a chronic insomniac and I gotta keep it up for the rendering...

do you think that the additionals will be recognized?
what do you think about this build??

can someone walk me through to what I gotta read before I get hands on to it?

I'm eternally grateful for your patience and guidance

thanks!!​

Second graphics card should be OK.

For WiFi and BT adapters see the Buyer's Guide (button at top of forum page will take you there).
