Yes, if you get Hackintosh friendly parts up front – a smart idea – a dual boot Hackintosh can be a good solution especially with apps like CC that you transfer activations easily. SSD dual boot would be pretty fast to go back and forth.

Thank you Stephen, 

I think I will follow your advice.

I have never had a windows machine, and am actually excited about building it myself.  This will be my primary machine for a while, i may just delay the hackintosh part so I can just get to work.

I just ordered the GtxTitan card. Am going to order the rest today. All the components will be hackintosh friendly, so I should be good when I decide to hackintosh it later

 

Take care,

I would be inclined to do Windows (Windows 7 that is) vs. Hackintosh for a primary machine for the reason of ease of upgrades, adding, removing hardware etc. Hackintosh is delicate build require lots of manual care and feeding during any type of changes plus a lot of time up front to configure.

 

Any the cross platform differences are not a big deal especially if you find the right mix of utilities. I’ve got both and think a Hackintosh is good secondary machine. Only go primary if you’ve got time to tinker or a IT wonk to keep it happy.

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

I have 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 for another later.

Would love to know what you all think of the  gtx Titan for after effects use. 

I will also be doing lots of C4D.

I am leaning towards pairing it with an i7 3930 processor hex core. It is cheaper than two cards.

I want a bulldozer for pushing pixels around.

Any opinions?

 

Thanks in Advance!
