Graphics card wise, I would choose Nvidia as they are used in all current macs. The rest of the hardware doesn't really matter.  |
Thanks for the advice Voyn1x. I was looking into getting a Gigabyte board. I do prefer Asus since they have given me the least amount of trouble over the years, but if I need to make a switch it may as well be for a board that will not give me fits on an install. I will look around and check out other member's rigs and decide from there. Will keep you posted on my efforts.
