Hey guys!
I've just finished modding my case. I've bought this gear already (so please don't tell me I've got the wrong stuff! haha). About to start the installation process for Mountain Lion...
CASE: G5 Mod - Mountain Mods + PSU Top shelf
MOBO: Z77X-UD5H
CPU: i5 3570K
GFX: EVGA 660 Ti
RAM: 16GB Vengeance Red C9 1600Mhz (should have got low profile - doh!)
SSD: 120GB San Disk Extreme
HDD: 1TB Seagate sata 7200rpm
PSU: Fatal1ty 550W
MONITOR: 27" Hazbo HZ27WC 2560x1440
And... any tricky bits that I need to keep in mind? Any similar builds that ran in to this FW hurdle?
Cheers guys!
EDIT: Would be pretty helpful if this could be figured out and added to the CustoMac list (IMO) - to save repeat discussions. I've read that the StarTech PCIe is compatible, I've read Syba somewhere and also seen a few other brands. My worst nightmare would be to buy a card and find out my interface (Liquid Saffire Pro 56) starts dropping out and popping etc... Anywho. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

(the case if anyone is interested - bit off topic...)
As this is going to be for an audio workstation I am eventually going to need a PCIe Firewire card. I've read loads of threads about PCIe FW... and everyone seems to think VIA won't do. But then I've also read somewhere that TI PCIe will create extra latency?? Don't know how true that is. But would love to come to a conclusion and just order the bloody thing! Syba? Can anyone confirm this card for Z77X mobo's + mountain lion?(the case if anyone is interested - bit off topic...)
