Thank you Stephen, 
I think I will follow your advice.
I have never had a windows machine, and am actually excit= ed about building it myself.  This will be my primary machine for a whi= le, i may just delay the hackintosh part so I can just get to work.
I just ordered the GtxTitan car= d. Am going to order the rest today. All the components will be hackintosh f= riendly, so I should be good when I decide to hackintosh it later

Take care,

Well I can't wait any longer, and I must r= eplace an aging Mac Pro.

I h= ave decided to go Hackintosh or maybe Windows if that does not work smoothly= .

I have seen the benchmarks= at Teddy's site and am impressed with multiple graphics card performance. (= Thank you for all that work Teddy!)

 I am leaning towards a single card for now and leaving room fo= r another later.

Would love t= o know what you all think of the  gtx Titan for after effects use. = ;

I will also be doing lots o= f C4D.

I am leaning towards p= airing it with an i7 3930 processor hex core. It is cheaper than two cards.<= o:p>

I want a bulldozer for pushi= ng pixels around.

Any opinio= ns?

 

Thanks in Advance!
