So I was thinking of making a new build, however I want to run mac osx mavericks as well as windows 8 on the computer (reason why I went with a Gigabyte mobo) only thing I'm thinking of upgrading is the cpu...what do you guys think? Any recommendations for different hardware that may work better with osx or just better hardware overall?

Does OS X need 32Gb of RAM? I will drop 16Gb of RAM and get a better CPU and also ditch the 760GTX for a ATI R9 280.

GeForce have better driver for OS X. Stay with it

 

The problem here is 32GB, don't even know if the pentium support quad-channel

 

Gonna change the build a bit
