Random lnsanity / Dear RIA: Check out my Computer Build
« on: August 01, 2010, 06:41:26 am »
So, I just sold my laptop and I am gonna get a desktop. I'm building it myself because it's better that way.
Current Components:
Rosewill CHALLENGER black gaming ATX mid with 3 fans http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147153
Tuniq Potency PSU-POT550-BK 550W ATX12V/EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80+ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817611006
GIGABYTE GA-P55M-UD2 LGA 1156 Intel P55 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128405
Intel i7 860 2.80GHz
HIS H577FK1GD Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) 1GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161338
Western Digital Caviar Black WD5001AALS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147153
LITE-ON CD/DVD Burner - Bulk Black SATA Model iHAS124-04 - OEM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106289
Anyway, I'm keeping it at $800-ish
This computer will be running Win7 and Hackintosh. Components ARE compatible with Apple (at least I'm 89% sure). ATi's are about to be supported by Apple since their new iMacs (read:OVERPRICED SHIT) use it, so I'm good on that.
This will be my first build, any advice?? What else do I need? I'm a bit unsure whether i'll fry something if i mess with something. Any help would be appreciated! (For Gaming, photoshop, web design and obviously intertubes)
