    Also as @gloop says that 450W VS unit is far from ideal for a 2700 and presumably a GTX 1060? You'd be pushing it for sure and I wouldn't take the risk.

    I'd be using garage band and sibelius, and I don't think you can get those on MAC? Also I hate OSX but I think it's the only way I can get garage band

    Hi, so on eBay right now is an iMac A1225 2.8 ghz C2D, socket PGA 478 (I think) which is a mobile socket, but please correct me if that isn't correct, I have no real idea about Macs, as I've never had one before, and that socket as all mobile sockets is a weird one to say the least. I think the best CPU for that socket is the C2Q X9000 or a C2E X9100 dual core. My questions are as follows;
     
    Will the Mac support either of those Cpus? I think it physically does  but because of the limitations of a mobile socket and firmware is there any chance I can Check if it a CPU is supported in OSx? 
     
    Also, since they are only 45w each, will the stock cooler with a dust and some new thermal paste be enough to cool it?
     
    Finally, will it be worth an upgrade from the stock CPU, or should I just stick with that?
     
    My primary use will be gaming, so does anyone also know of a good card that would fit that? Thanks

    That basically, ideally under £225~ but can stretch to 300. It needs to be at least 30 inch and go well with an i7 5th gen and a 6gb 1060 GPU. I'd like it to be curved and have a HDMI/ DisplayPort, but I understand that may be a problem. Oh and finally has to be the ultra wide equivalent of 1920 x 1080 and have decent latency and refresh rates. Thanks!
     
    Oh BTW doesn't have to be new either ?

    No, I do mean 1356, search it up! That's why it's so cheap, because it is such a niche socket.
