Huckleberry Pie Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Thought of suggesting this for a friend as his laptop got fried recently, and so I was wondering if this would be 'swell enough for a Yosemite system: Intel Core i3-4150 3.5GHz Haswell Processor - $130MSI CSM-H81M-P32 Intel H81 Socket 1150 Motherboard - $60MSI N650-MD1GD5/OC GeForce GTX 650 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card - $72.99Raidmax ATXA21WB ATX Mid Tower Case - $27.99Coolmax 600W 140mm Smart Fan ATX Power Supply with single PCI-E - V-600 - $44.99Patriot DDR3 4GB 1333MHz (1X4GB)Module (PSD34G133381) - $44.99WD Desktop Mainstream 500GB Internal Hard Drive Retail Kit WDBH2D5000ENC-NRSN - $59.99 He usually buys his wares at Fry's in Indianapolis, and he's a bit on a tight budget, but any suggestions may do.

kvonlinee Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 That look good, run 10.10 easy, compatible to 10.9 also Run clover boot loader is best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Pie Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 Noted. I'm aiming for a similar build as well, but I don't have the funds atm so it can wait in my case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvonlinee Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I, myself, like the 1155 socket, because incase I don't need a very strong cpu, just watch movies for example, i could grab a celeron cpu to make it run. Go to socket 1150, it must go by core i3, almost $90 buck more. Dual to powermanagement at kernel on cpu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
