@ddi Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Well First of all this is one hell of a forum !!! You guys are great know computers in ways I could never figure out... Well let's get to the the question. I am in the market for a new build and really tried to spend some time reading around but can't really find something that puts me at ease; or my limits in pc stuff kicks in and leaves me with very few clues. So I figured out I am going to ask you guys for some insights. I want to upgrade and I am scared of choosing it took me soo much to have a stable osx but now I want to play starcraft II as well and at a decent framerate; so thought time to start looking around. Now for the system I am on right now I used the boothink usb method http://leeyuentuen.hostei.com/?p=1118. And of all the one i have tried is the one i like best and i would like if is it possible to keep using it. I'm looking forward a vanilla install of 10.6.4,if it is feasible with the mobo running these days, but I have now clue. As a CPU I was thinking one of the following: Intell i7 960, i7 930, i7 875k i am still looking into the matter but if I end up with the cash I will go for the 960 otherwise one of the other two. for the Mobo please suggest me any Asus or Gigabyte that will be good for running a vanilla system if a get one of those 6 slot ram one i will end up with 12 otherwise 6 gb As a video card I was thinking about the hd5870 since it is an option on the mac pro but any gtx 400 might as well do. i want to play steam and starcraft (would love ultra but maybe is too demanding dunno) plus I do some demanding photoshop but I gues that if it goes well on games rocks on photoshop. I have two monitors 1 1650*1080 and 1240*1024 and that is all Thanks for the time!
