What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.
- A hackintosh build - internet surfing, video streaming, some heavy programming, some light image editing. I won't be doing any video editing and gaming.
What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?
- maximum would be $450 AUD
When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.
- Within a month.
What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)
- Everything except the peripherals (I have monitor, keyboard, and mouse).
Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?
- I am in Brisbane, Australia.
If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.
- I have a LG 23 inch IPS monitor (23EA63), an Apple wireless keyboard, and an Apple magic mouse.
Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?
- No.
Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)
- If budget permits, I would like an addition of SSD. I would also prefer a RAM of 8gb or more.
Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?
- No.
Do you need a copy of Windows 7 or 8.1 included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference for one or the other?
- No.
Even though it is a budget build for now, I would like to have the option to upgrade certain parts in the near future. I won't be doing anything graphic-intensive, but I would be doing a lot of work within Terminal, with connection to various remote servers. I am very new to building a rig, so any assistance is very appreciated.
I have initially posted this to /r/buildapcforme but I thought this would be more relevant in /r/hackintosh. I have come across many budget builds for hackintosh but I live in Australia so I would like some help regarding the build in terms of the availability of parts here in Australia. Again, any help would be appreciated.
