Happy that you're doing a new build. However I have some doubts about: a) The board, Gigabyte has been a bit iffy these days and buying the budget end doesn't seem to help much. b) Unless you're rendering video then I think you wasted money on the processor and; c) The power supply, Thermaltake really, they had a whole lot of failure issues a while back. I don't trust them at all, better off with Antec or Corsair.
gold rated psu for 64$ i cant complain 7 yr war on it.. yeah i had a thermal take die on me in 2007 lasted me 2 yrs but it was a crappier one cpu is for 6 to 8 yrs.. didnt want a celeron my current G31m-ES2L hasnt failed me.. they might have gotten crappier in past 6 yrs i agree.. but i dont want Asus MSR locked and hackintosh is more trouble to install on asus than gigabyte. but thanks for the input.. i did have questions if i should have bought plain Z97-DH3 and not Z97x.. intel lan works ok on hackintosh but realtek is okish too
To me the only reason to get a board over $150 is if you intend to run multiple video cards. Most of the features they have won't ever be used by people looking for a basic single video card build. Also your processor might last a lot longer than 6 years if the die shrink goes up poop creek, which I'm betting it will.
i hardly use os x.. but when i do its dos HDD (no hybrid partitioning scheme) shall i try win 10 efi and dual boot win 7 hm not sure of 7 on efi via 10 loader..
@LatinMcG Use Osmosis or Clover EFI - you don't need hybrid partitioning. Plain & simple GPT will work without any hitch.
yeah i wanted to use win 10 loader on efi but i need win 7 for work i believe. clover might be way around but i dont trust it for daily use needing to boot in 4 mins to clock in to work doesnt give me much time to play with it ..
yay, congrats dude best of luck ever , here in next year I bought one mobo Supermicro with xeon and more things trust me
All went well! efi 7 and 10 installed. had to flip radiator intake hoses on H60 to bottom for better flow.
