Alright guys here is my story. Three months ago I built my dream machine gaming PC. Build and system work great. Here's my main parts list:
Intel Core i7-4770 Haswell Quad-Core 3.4GHz LGA 1150
ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
EVGA GeForce GTX 770 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0
Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 120G 2.5" 120GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
WD BLACK SERIES 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Now, I also do a fair bit of music production on my Macbook Pro, but my workflow makes it a rather awkward to continue my projects on a laptop format. Oh how I wish I could have a mac desktop. Perhaps there is a way to run Mac OS X on my computer too? My research to that question has led me here. What if I could choose to boot up either windows 7 (to play my games) or Mac OS X (to do my audio work)? Here is what my research has brought me already and the concerns I have:
-Apparently it's easier to put Windows on Max OS X then Max OS X on windows. Well Windows is already installed so I have to do it "the hard way".
-It seems not all parts are compatible with Max OS X. Does my parts list past muster?
-I already have Max OS X on my laptop, and I'd like to do this as legally as possible, so it seems I'll want to use the UniBeast method correct?
-I was thinking I'd probably prefer having a separate Solid State Drive and Storage drive for Max OS X. So that would mean one SSD and HD for Windows, and one SSD and HD for Mac. Is this possible if I purchase a new SSD and HD for this?
-If this is possible, I assume the best way to accomplish dual booting is once I've installed Max OS X is to select boot priority for the SSD that holds Mac OS X or Windows depending on which I want to use, correct?
Comments on any or all of the points I've made in this post would be extremely helpful. I really hope this is doable and though I will continue to do my own research, there seems to be little information for my particular situation.
