Upgrading my gaming rig

[Elliot]

I'm building another Hackintosh. With Windows dual-booted for games.

Previously

• 3x 2Gb DDR2 400
• 1x 512mb DDR2 400
  
• AMD Phenom 9650 (locked, AM2+, 2.3GHz)
• Foxconn Destroyer
  
• GTX 260

New

• 2x 4GB DDR3 2133
  
• Intel Core i5 2500k (unlocked). Would have gone for the i7, but I'm not made of money.
  
• GIGABYTE GA-Z68A-D3H-B3. Yes, I checked. They're not in danger of the recent Gigabyte smoking defect.
  
• Same GTX 260.

I'm broke now. Besides, I'm sticking with NVIDIA video cards. I'm using this as a Hackintosh build, NVIDIA cards are easier to get QE working.


@Skrillex, Nope, that's going to be my new Minecraft server.
