Hello,
I'm looking to get some low-mid range parts for my friend. He currently uses a Powermac g5 (2007 version). His main use for this computer is the music he makes, so i need to keep that in mind when building (maybe an individual sound card or something like that?). He originally asked me to upgrade his Powermac (more ram, a new HDD etc) but i'm not quite sure about Macs as i've never opened on up or used one (or if certain parts can even work on them), so if that is an option, please post your thoughts about that.
Approximate Purchase Date: 1 Month
Budget Range: 300-600
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Audio editing, music software.
Parts Not Required: Mac monitor
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg, amazon, microcenter, ncix etc etc.
Country: USA
Parts Preferences: Any
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
Monitor Resolution: Not sure what his mac monitor displays at, but probably no more than 1600x900
Additional Comments: if upgrading a g5 powermac from 2007 is an option, please give me your thoughts on that. (I told him he'd be better off buying a new windows machine, it would probably be cheaper too.) Also, the machine can be pre-built or individual parts, whatever gives the most bang for the buck.
