abscheele Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I am building a pc for osx/gaming, the hardware compability list says they are all good but just wanted to make sure: MOBO: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R GRAPHICS: 8800GT 512MB PROCESSOR: intel c2d E6750 I will also be getting some fans, 2gb of ram, and a 630W psu. I already have a compatible dvd drive, 2 hdd's and a case any comments/advice BTW is building a computer as simple as upgrading a graphics card or ram, just more parts?

LTL Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 i'd get a badaxe2 and a q6600 I'd get a BADAXE2 2 years ago... no offense, its a great board, but OLD Going with a P35 based chipset Asus or Gigabyte is a good idea. I would like to get a X38 based chipset, but am not sure which one to recommend. I love my rig, it runs perfectly. I did not like the 8800GT, its buggy and I exchanged mine for the ATI 3870 which runs flawlessly thanks the netkas natit Check my sig for my suggestions Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/97831-building-a-pc-for-osx/#findComment-700627 Share on other sites More sharing options...
abscheele Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 2 questions: How does the 3870 compaire to the 8800GT? how hard is it to build a computer is it as simple as connecting all the parts?
