How do you like this configuration? + at the same time install Mac Mavericks
-
Well, after a few years with my old, E6600 and Q9550, I've been saving like an ant for a few months, at least trying, and I'm thinking about updating the equipment, which I think it's about time, especially so that it lasts at least as long as the E6600, which is still holding up today.After much looking, I've thought about the following:
- Bitfenix Shinobi USB3 - 57€
- Corsair TX750W (the current one) - 0€
- Asrock Z87 Extreme 4 - 125€
- Core i5 4670K or i7 4770K - /269€
- Cooler Master Hyper 412S - 33€
- 2x8GB DDR3 GSKILL 2400Mhz CL10 - 78,95€
- Seagate 1TB SATA3 7200.14 - 46,95€
- Nvidia GTX660/660Ti/760 - 150-200€
- inherit the Audigy 2 ZS, only for Mac audio, if needed. 0€
809€
What do you think about any recommendations? Does anyone know a graphics card that is easy to install for Mac OS X Mavericks, that is much more powerful than the 4850/GTS250. And is superior, I also don't want to get stuck, that's why I've looked at the GTX660/ti/760 which I've seen that the GK104 is compatible in Mavericks.
Greetings!! and Thanks!

Not much cooler for a K, I would look at some budget low-profile memory and a Raijintek Nemesis in a wider case.
For the drive, I would seriously consider getting 2TB, 100% capacity for 50% more price.
i5 VS i7 at your discretion, I do some rendering but the i7 isn't worth it for me.
I see the 760 as good, if you know it's compatible go for it. If you're not going to play much, get the 660Ti.
If you're not going to do SLI, you could save a few euros on the card, the HD3 or a Gigabyte of these 100 euro ones is compatible with hacki.

No if the hackintosh issue, I know I won't have problems with the motherboard, the integrated network card I think already has Kexts for them, if I looked at the Extreme 4 it's because of the expansion possibilities it has, more than anything, by having the 8 sata ports, the 12 power phases, and the instant boot feature from Asrock which I have already tested.
-
In the end, it comes down to this:
Asrock Z87 Extreme4 or Asrock Z97 Extreme4 (9€ difference)
Core i7 4770K 3'5Ghz
Thermaltake NC4 (after much looking)
2x4GB DDR3 GSKILL RIPJAWSZ 2400Mhz CL10 -
If I had to buy an LGA1150 micro, I would opt for the new Devil's Canyon, for its better heat dissipation and improved voltage management, although they are so new that they are still scarce.
In summary, a 4690K if you are looking for an i5, and a 4790K if you need an i7.
Salu2!

Ya, but I couldn't wait any longer, the 4770K is not a bad micro either, and it's not that far off from the 4790K just in terms of dissipation and voltages. -
Little dissipates and "a lot" of memory.
