Hey everyone!,

 

First off, sorry if this is in the wrong section, I'm not sure if it is or isn't.

 

So I've finally decided to try out building my own Mac: below is what I'm thinking for the build.

 

 

Things I will get:

Motherboard: GA Z97 D3H

 

 

Processor: Intel Core i3-4360 OR Intel Core i5-4460

 

 

Power supply: Corsair CS 550 Watt Modular

 

 

Case: Corsair Carbide 300R

 

 

Things I have already:

6GB DDR3 RAM

1TB HDD

500 GB HDD

Internal DVD Drive

 

 

 

 

Now, I'm looking to get this working with OS X Yosemite. Does everything look to be compatible? I'm going to be using it as my main system for xCode and just as my overall computer. I would like to dual boot it with OS X Yosemite and Windows 7/8.

 

 

Another issue I'm concerned about is the new handoff/continuity feature. Does that look good to go with my build?

 

 

As far as Xcode is concerned and causal web browsing and MS office, do you guys think the core i3 will do good for me or should I go for the i5? I'm looking to upgrade to a graphics card later on but not at the moment so if someone could recommend one that isn't too expensive and will work with my build that would be cool.

 

 

And lastly, I'm really hoping to get Bluetooth working with this so I did look at a

IOGear Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter

Would it possibly work with Yosemite

 

 

Thanks for the help in advance and I'm sorry for the long post!
