Solidworks plays better with FirePro and Quadro graphics cards from my experience. Either way you'll want to dual boot that system I wouldn't use parallels for that. Start with the 960 to save money and consider having a separate windows system down the line with a professional graphics card.

I recommend a 4790k since you are getting the 980ti. The the C broadwell CPUs are clocked lower and only benefit from a better integrated graphics processor inside something you don't need. The higher clock of the 4790k will be better for Final Cut Pro.

EVGA and Sapphire are the most dependable brands in general for GPU's. I would take a look at the buyers guide next time, there's always a link on the home page, go with nVidia also they list EVGA in the buyers guide. If you want to use other parts not on the buyers guide I highly recommend you...

any success if Yosemite? My hack is in a coolermaster HAF mini itx case. It will have a 980ti as well as Intel Core i7-4790K and GIGABYTE GA-Z97N-WIFI One. Ill be using a samsung evo SSD and a separate 4 TB drive for DAW and NLE session files. I'll be running Pro Tools 12.x and Avid Media...

Yup everyone was fine. It was a rough time, a lot of family issues. My uncle started the fire, just a lot of drama. No one got hurt though. If the new Mac Pro uses Ivy Bridge E or any version of LGA 2011 chips I may even go that route. I'm also hoping a ivy bridge e or haswell board by gigabyte...

My existing build burned in a fire so I have to start from scratch.

Thanks. Do you know if I'll be able to use all of my USB 3.0 ports?

Mavericks will be out by the time my build is complete so that's most likely the OS I'll update to. I'll be going with the z87x-ud3h and an i7 4770k. Hopefully internal GPU is fine with audio recording and editing, I expect it to be fine I don't run anything to intense.

Thanks

Is it possible to get 10.6.8 installed onto a Haswell build to access the App Store? If not will it ever be?

glad to see this. i still have my disc but i know not everyone starts their hack with a real mac ready to get ML.

great thread, I am going to buy an additional 1TB HDD to install ML on. I use Snow for recording, once i get Mountain Lion working 100% to my liking, I will use the Snow drive as a 2nd drive.

thanks

if i download mountain lion won't it prepare my system for the update, at least thats what I thought, I was just worried that would give me a KP.

My main question is say I am starting from scratch. I am building a Mini ITX build in the BitFenix Prodigy case, pretty similar to the recommended build with a few differences. Pretty much though I am using the same motherboard and using the 3770 cpu. My Q isn't hardware related, it's basically...

yeah they definitely removed it to new buyers. which means when 10.9 comes out, unless you already own ML you wont be able to get it.

is it still in the app store?

I hope it has thunderbolt. Would be really coo.

I was on the new egg app and on my phone. I've also been up for 24 hours lol I can't wait to see how builds work out. I hope Thunderbolt works on ML.
