First Build

[TechN00b]

Hi,

 

Here is my current part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/6bwXbj

 

I want the computer to be an overall good computer which can handle things like gaming, video editing, etc. I hope to in the future, when there is an update for the GTX 1070 for mac, to make the computer a dual boot with windows and macintosh, however, for now I would keep it all Windows. Any suggestions or compatibility issues would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Looks like a damn solid build to me. I would've gone 2 or 3 TB for gaming, because the 30 games in my steam library now takes up most of  my 1TB. Other than that, it looks  great. Good job

Looking to spend less then $2000 on the build.

Add a 3TB HDD instead of the 1TB, what headset will you be using?

Awesome, I will surely take that into consideration and probably upgrade to a 2 or 3TB (Better safe then sorry). Thanks!

Not sure yet, maybe audio technica.

Worth it if you overclock that i7. Anything else will bottleneck it. If you want me to, I could edit the list and make it X99 c:

I think the problem with the X99 will be during the hackintosh part as that requires a greater knowledge of the process, which I currently don't have (First time). Thanks though!

Sound cards aren't at all necessary but get one if the budget allows ;P
