Now thats a good custom build if i had the time and skill to make one it would be purrrfect, as to the MB after taking some advice about ALC898 Green audio port problems of the GA Z77X-UD5 from toleda
"Regarding the Z77X-UD5H, all audio (including optical out) works in OS X except the green ports, motherboard and front panel. All audio, including the green port, works on the Z77X-UD5 TH. I recommend the Z77X-UD5 TH simply because it has everything."
I decided that this would be the MB to have.
Currently opting for:
Intel Core i7-3770K
GA-Z77X-UP5-TH
Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C8 16GB 1600MHz CL8 DDR3 (4x4Gb)
Crucial CT256M4SSD2 256GB M4 SSD (OSX ML)
Crucial CT128M4SSD2 128GB M4 SSD (Win 7)
EVGA GFX 570
TP Link TL-WDN4800 450Mbps Wireless N Dual Band PCI Express Adapter (As recomended by thelostswede)
StarTech.com 3 Port 2b 1a 1394 PCI Express FireWire Card Adapter PEX1394B3 (As recomended by thelostswede)
Logitech MX Performance Mouse
Logitech K750 Wireless Solar Keyboard for Mac - Black
Hopefully this will be a painless first hack build. I have lurked for a while but now taking the plunge.
Now MultiBeast 5.0.0 is out!!!!! even better
