Hey guys,
So I've been wanting to have a Mac to use as a Desktop and not just rely on my Macbook Pro. But, Macs are expensive, so I have decided to sell my current rig and begin investing into a Hackintosh.
Using the amazing guides provided by tonymacx86 I have decided on these parts. However, like anyone, I would like to save money where I can without sacrificing a lot of performance. As I'm new to Hackintoshing I'm having a hard time determining where I can save money and where I should bite the bullet and drop some cash.
Basic background with what I'll be doing with my Hackintosh (or plan to, assuming that I can): I want to triple boot OS X, Windows, and Linux on separate Solid State Drives. (I already have an extra 120 SSD so I figured I'd throw Linux on it just cause I can even though it does not need it). OS X is for my personal use and I will be doing most of the programming for a project I am on through it. Windows will be used for specific programming assignments given to me at school (which require specific Windows-only IDEs) and some gaming (Day Z, Civilization 5/BE, Gary's Mod). Linux will be used for work (I work in IT) to script, manage Cisco switches and VoIP phones, and just general use to learn the OS. I have a laptop with Linux for work while I'm on the go, but a desktop environment would be nice when I'm at home. I plan on using dual displays.
If there's any other general information that would help in giving me advice please ask and I will answer to the best of my ability! Below is my tentative build.
