Hi,
This is my 1st attempt at a Hackintosh build so I am completely open to suggestions on any or all of the components.
I would like to build a Hackintosh that will dual boot windows 7 and osx on separate hds. The computer will primarily be used for video editing (Final Cut Pro and CS4). I would also like the motherboard to support usb 3.0 and be relatively upgradable but other than that I am pretty flexible.
My budget is about $1000 can go over by a couple hundred if need be.
Here is what I was lookin at getting:
2X Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500 GB SATA 16 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Hard Drive ST3500418AS
Corsair CMX4GX3M2A1600C9 XMS3 4 GB PC3-12800 Core i5 Memory Kit
XFX Black Edition HD 5850 1 GB DDR5 Graphics Card HD585AZNBC
Intel Core i7 Processor 2.80 GHz 8 MB LGA1156 CPU I7-860BOX
OCZ 700MXSP 700 Watts ModXStream Pro Power Supply
Samsung Internal Half Height DVD-W Supermulti SATA 22X Lightscribe (Black)
Antec Three Hundred Gaming Case External 3 X 5.25; Internal 6 X 3.5 2*Usb2.0
Gigabyte Intel Core i7/i5/LGA1156/4DDR3-2200/CrossFireX/GBE/Raid/SATA3/USB3.0/7.1-CH ATX Motherboard GA-P55A-UD3
Right now all this costs $816 on Amazon (NewEgg seems to be about the same on most parts)
If someone could recommend me a good compatible wireless card (g or n) that would be great too.
Thanks!!
