Not all of it...

I got more HDD and a better PSU.


The HIS isn't bad...I mean, so far so good. I'm actually posting from the build I made.  :troll:

That mobo isn't compatible for Hackintosh. I wish it would've been but Apple's retarted and doesn't seem to like USB3. Newegg charges sales tax in CA :\

The CPU is worse than the i7 820. It doesn't support multi threading, it's not as fast.

1. 860's frequency is higher
2. 860's turbo mode is far greater
3. 860's TDP is far lower
4. 860's Intel specified supported ram frequency is higher
5. 860's overall price is far lower (I got it for $250 + tax + SH = $284)

Isn't 5770 better that 5750? And is HIS really balls? Please tell me why specifically because I already ordered my stuff. If it's really that bad I can return it.

I'm not planning on running Crossfire. One GPU and that's it.

Also, I found a better PSU; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341017 | OCZ ModXStream Pro OCZ600MXSP 600W ATX12V V2.2 / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply compatible with core i7

I ended up buying that. Also got the Rosewill. Found WD500GB at 39.99 each so I bought two of those, as I'm planning to keep OS X away from Win7 just in case.

The thing is C-zom, I can't have AMD. It is not compatible/supported by Apple therefore useless in a Hackintosh build. A few have done it but it is with a LOT of hard work and updating is a PITA.

I found a 500GB WD for 39.99 so I am buying two of those.

^ What? Let's see you build a $800 computer with better specs that is also compatible with Hackintosh.

Don't even say AMD is better because Intel processors kick the shit out of them. WD is pretty good, I know from experience; as far as Rosewill, I don't really care if my case is good looking, PLUS it has 3 fans included.

How dubious is Tuniq? I've read some reviews and it seems like normal. Few bad ones but generally good. It should power my system well, if I ever upgrade anything, I'll upgrade the PSU too.

C-zom, what is wrong with HIS? Should I go for Sapphire? I am not buying a $160+ GPU.

Yeah, I kinda used that guide for reference. Sad to say it hasn't been updated since then and most of those components aren't available or have changed price. Plus, that CPU is over priced with the Intel i series.

In total, that comp is closer to $950+

Mine is far more capable and cheaper, although his build was guaranteed to work with Hackintosh. Mine, in theory, should be too. And a 600W would be nice, if it's less $$ than the 550W I found.

That sounds like a good build, but you see, I'm making a Hackintosh too. The motherboard and CPU have to be supported (along with other stuff) by Apple. After hours of research I found all of these to be compatible (at least I am mostly sure) :\

Also, I've had a horrible experience with Seagate/Maxxor so no thanks. Instead of that WD I was thinking of buying a white label HDD from ebay.

So, I just sold my laptop and I am gonna get a desktop. I'm building it myself because it's better that way.


Current Components:
Rosewill CHALLENGER black gaming ATX mid with 3 fans http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147153
Tuniq Potency PSU-POT550-BK 550W ATX12V/EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80+ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817611006
GIGABYTE GA-P55M-UD2 LGA 1156 Intel P55 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128405
Intel i7 860 2.80GHz
HIS H577FK1GD Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) 1GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161338
Western Digital Caviar Black WD5001AALS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147153
LITE-ON CD/DVD Burner - Bulk Black SATA Model iHAS124-04 - OEM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106289

Anyway, I'm keeping it at $800-ish

This computer will be running Win7 and Hackintosh. Components ARE compatible with Apple (at least I'm 89% sure). ATi's are about to be supported by Apple since their new iMacs (read:OVERPRICED SHIT) use it, so I'm good on that.

This will be my first build, any advice?? What else do I need? I'm a bit unsure whether i'll fry something if i mess with something. Any help would be appreciated! (For Gaming, photoshop, web design and obviously intertubes)

I like going to the old boards and reading the very first few threads. It's hilarious nowadays.

Also, fuck off with your three years, I'm coming up on four.

I meant on these forums assface. I've been in this alliance for four years too. Go to hell with your falsehoods.

My four years are longer, though.

MY four year are longer :p shall I remind everyone I was the second member of the alliance >____>


Enough seniority BS...I still can't believe I've been here for this long, though not as active as you C-zom

17" Enkei Mitsubishi wheels...they're actually from the Evo Lancer which is a great and extremely fast car. Hey, $320 for the wheels plus $120 for Pirelli Tires is a good deal.
