Building Computer For Audio Engineering (Another How's My Build Thread)

[hhll]

Hey guys, I'm building a Hackintosh to supersede my 2008 Macbook Pro. The primary use of this computer will be tracking & mixing. I will be running Pro Tools 9, and i'm pretty stoked about the performance increase I will HOPEFULLY be getting with this build!

 

I'm a first time Hackintosh builder, and basically - I would like to build a machine that is as problem free as possible, and using the most modern HW available.. this way this machine can stay relevant for a bit.

 

Here is my list - anybody have any recommendations/issues with this set up? Can spend a bit more if need be,

I really just want to get as much bang for my buck as I can

Bluetooth would be ideal... but I haven't seem to stumble on much information that made it look easy to get going. :l
