    I've been wanting to get rid of this computer as the stuff I do on it is resource heavy so me and shields have been working on finding something that could render and game on so here is the list of what we put together but also I want it to run OSX as I have a big disliking to windows (not saying its a bad os I just prefer OSX) so what do you all think???


    COOLER MASTER Elite 430 RC-430-KWN1
    ASUS Z87-PRO LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
    EVGA 02G-P4-3658-KR GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST SuperClocked 2GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card
    Intel Core i5-4670 Haswell 3.4GHz LGA 1150 84W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics BX80646I54670
    Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model BLS2KIT8G3D1339DS1S00
    Rosewill RFX-120BL 120mm 2 Ball Bearing Blue LED Case Fan with Fan Controller Set
    APEVIA WARLOCK POWER ATX-WA750W 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Power Supply


    Also I'm trying to get the best out of the money I spend as the list here comes up to a little over £500/$840 if theres anything missing from the list tell me

    Yea. Macs will always have slightly lower performance graphically with identical hardware and configuration.

    its not all for the graphics its more for rendering and recording and its a concept build so its subject to change but for the price its brilliant

    Rendering and recording relies on graphics.

    Rendering videos is cheap. It mainly relies on motherboard bandwidth. My comp can render a video in 3x time.

    Well since you've really set your mind on a the "advantageous" Mac, I hope all of Apple's shit (and Hackintosh's in your case) doesn't screw it up too much.
