Thanks for the suggestions everyone, I don't think Radeon cards work with Hackintosh from what I've read. The Xenon CPU seems like a good suggestion as well as the Quadro workstation card. I didn't know Hackintosh would require me to be on call, does it break/need a lot of tweaks to the OS to...

This build is for a friend who does a lot of image and video editing with Photoshop, Lightroom, Final Cut X and some 3D work. She also wants a good monitor to do photo retouching that doesn't have a lot of glare and has good factory calibration. The budget is $1200 or less. She also will want to...

Why an X79 chipset and Ivy Bridge Processor instead of the Z97 chipset and a Devil's Canyon processor? I'd get the i7 4790K and an Asus or Gigabyte board in the $150-$200 range then overclock the processor. I'd also recommend a Noctua NH-D14 or NH-D15 and a cheaper power supply as $150 is a...

I'm changing my mind from the VG248QE Asus monitor after seeing them in action and playing with the settings at MicroCenter. I'll suffer and wait for a Display Port 1.2A Adaptive-Sync capable monitor. Maybe pick up a used CRT locally, but I doubt I'll find a good quality one for gaming that's...

Thanks for the advice mfenn, you've been very helpful. I went out and say in dozens of chairs and started narrowing down my list of those to a TUL EC 620. http://www.officemax.com/office-furn...ct-prod5310716 I've recently purchased from microcenter intel i5 4690k Gigabyte UD3H...

The Raid 2 7/10 Great action, interesting enough plot, liked the protagonist. Too much gore for me though. X-Men Days of Future Past 8/10 Really interesting movie, great plot, good action and the actors were very endearing. Neighbors 8/10 Super funny movie, good cinematography, good actors...

Thanks for the recommendations, I'm wary about the build quality of the Siberia after reading the reviews of the mic stopping working after a year and the faux leather earcups wearing out concern me. In the reviews of the PC320 it is said to have very little to no bass, which is sort of...

Here's the updated link to the build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Ywvst6 I'm also looking to buy this computer chair and mouse mat since my desk surface isn't the smoothest. Corsair Vengeance MM200 $12 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826988018 Mid Back Mesh Chair $150...

I see. The video card it's just there for an accurate total price as it matches what I paid for mine. I'll take it off of the list though, fix the prices as well as bringing it back down to the i5 instead of the i7.

You're absolutely right, mfenn, I don't know why they said that on the phone. I'm thinking of upgrading my build a little to an i7 4790k. There are many batch numbers that hit 4.9Ghz+ on ~1.3 volts. The video card and PSU are price stand-ins. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/xBVcGX I was thinking...

Try turning off RAPID mode on your SSD and see if that helps.

That's a $2216 build, I'd get the Noctua NH-D14 as it outperforms the U series and is significantly less money than the NH-D15. However your website says it does not have it in Socket 1150 for some reason. http://www.computersalg.dk/produkt/445393/noctua-nhd14-processork%C3%B8ler--sock...

I see, I'll go with the Green drive for extra storage. I don't think I'll need the thermal MX-4 thermal compound if I go with the Noctua cooler. The microcenter I called said it's only specific boards they listed on their stores website that can be bundled for -$40 off the retail prices. Those...

According to xe.com that's $2433 USD. I'm no expert but I'd get the larger 250GB (or larger) SSD from Samsung for marginally more money. I'd also go with a Z97 motherboard instead of an Z87, also the Haswell refresh Devil's Canyon 4790K is out (at least in UK and America) for the same price with...

I'm interested to know as well, the ES definitely overclocked poorly.
