Hey /r/hackintosh,
I'm planning on my first proper build in the next 2-3 months or so and would like some advice.
Basically I do a lot of gaming and media editing (It will be dual booted with Windows 7 Ultimate, hence the dual SSDs for boot drives and the Velociraptor for storage) so good graphics performance is essential.
I'm not sure where to go with the graphics card and I know hackintosh builds can be finnicky with them. Would something like the GTX770 be a good card?
I'm willing to spend up to £300/$500 on a card but obviously less is better. I don't want to spend £300 just "because".
Here's my current build idea:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

| CPU | Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor | £245.94 @ Aria PC |

| Memory | Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory | £142.72 @ Amazon UK |

| Video Card | Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 4GB WINDFORCE Video Card | £287.99 @ Aria PC |
| Optical Drive | Sony 5280S-CB-PLUS DVD/CD Writer | £40.05 @ Amazon UK |
| Total | ||
| Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available | £1276.14 |
Also, any advice on quiet CPU coolers/case fans/cases would be appreciated as this build is going in a really small room.
Thanks guys.
