I posted to /r/buildapc but it seems to have flown under the radar over there. Anyways, I am hoping to dual boot OSX and Windows on this machine, OSX for running Pro Tools HD Native for my audio work, and Windows (less important) for gaming. Here is my part list from PC Part Picker. Note, I already have drives for storage, monitor, mouse, etc. Thanks for your time and constructive criticism.
