Sound, thanks guys. Here is the hardware so far...

 

Intel E5 V2 8 core Ivybridge.

Gigabyte X79 UD3.

MSI GTX 480 Lightning

XFX 750w pro black PSU (Seasonic)

4gb Geil Xtreme 2333mhz ram

 

That's what I gots so far. I did do some reading the other day (half assed) and it seems yes, you need Nvidia and Intel. I did check that the UD3 is OK and it seems it is, just wanted it simplified a bit as I get awful confused over it....

I don't remember the GTX480 being support by OS X.

 

I know with the GTX 570/580 you needed some work, while all 6, and all 7 series cards are natively support, Except the for GTX 750 which is Maxwell based, and doesn't have drivers yet.
