I haven't seen this anywhere, so I figured I should post this myself.


I built this hackintosh in August, and I'm considering getting a second display for my system. I don't know if I should stick with my GTX 650 Ti Boost, or upgrade to a GTX 760 or AMD equivalent, like an R9 270/270x.


My MoBo has one PCIe x16 slot and one PCIe x4 slot, OS X does not support SLI or crossfire, and the 650 Ti Boost has been discontinued, so it would be a waste of money to get something like dual 660's. Here's my current parts list:
