- PLatform and cost
- Extras cost
- Shipping cost
- Total amount payable

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
These are very high good computers especially if your into extreme gaming. All the components are brand new and I will also send their original packaging, etc if you so wish.
I make 5% on the system and nothing on extras, so no time wasters please. Also note thaat once a bill is sent it isn't legally binding and the PC WILL NOT be built till a personal cheque has cleared, then it will be a legally binding deal between me (the trader), and you (the consumer).
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this and I look forward to your custom.
Ryan.

Help me make a decision for my next PC

Hello
I have decided to build a gaming PC. I am not sure whether I should go Intel or AMD. Currently I have a Mac so i'm not going to choose a side without some help from experts. Based on my budget ($650 ish), I have chosen what I think are good, cheap components. The AMD machine's motherboard seems better, but the Intel one may be faster. I am unsure on performance differences and if I have chosen the right components.
Please note... The SSD, MOUSE, and KEYBOARD CANNOT change! I currently have them in my possession, so they will stay the same on both...

What's your Hackintosh hardware specs?

I'll go ahead and say this so it's clear. I'm not using a pirated copy of OS X. I have a Mac Mini that crapped out on me, and I don't really feel like spending money to fix it or buy another one, so I found a way to not let my authentic OS X Lion and license that I paid for go to waste.
So like the title says, if you've built one of these amazing machines, what hardware did you use? There is a good bit of hardware that works perfectly, and there is a lot that doesn't. Luckily I've found a perfect combination to run OS X flawlessly.
There is no need to go into the method in which you installed the OS. I'm just interested in how creative you guys are for the hardware aspect of it.
These are my specs:
Build name - HOLLOW-X
Case - APEVIA X-Dreamer 4 case with 7x120mm fans and 1x200mm fan (blue LED)
PSU - Rosewill HERCULES-1600 (1600 watt)

MOBO - ASUS P5Q (With modified BIOS for OS X to boot with AHCI configuration)
CPU - 2.66GHz Intel Core2 Quad Q9400 (clocked at 3.1GHz)
 (Reads as XEON on OS X)
CPU Cooler - Thermaltake Silent TMG i1
Memory - 16GB G.SKILL DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)

Graphics card - SAPPHIRE Toxic Radeon HD 5850 2GB GDDR5
Disk Drives:
Pioneer 16x Blu-Ray/DVD Writer
LG Blu-Ray ROM/16x DVD Writer
Hard Drives:
250GB 10,000RPM Western Digital Black Series VelociRaptor (Retail OS X 10.7.2 Lion)

1TB Western Digital Scorpio (Windows 7 Ultimate)
320GB Western Digital Caviar Blue from a WD My Book (Kali LINUX)
500GB 2.5" Western Digital Scorpio Series with ICY DOCK USB enclosure
 (Has a railed Caddy system to hot plug the entire enclosure, and other 3.5" SATA drives as well, into the computer case)
A lot of people that hear the specs say stuff like "That is a pretty awesome gaming rig"
What's funny is... I don't play a single game on any of my computers. Lol

Installer written using a MacBook Pro, no pirated distros (except for when I don't have access to a Mac, it's my old man's)
Well, really, it's supposed to be just a gaming rig, but everything accidentally matches up for Hackintosh except for networking
CPU: I7-4770k
Should've gone for the non-K variant, as I don't OC anyway and need VT-d support
GPU: EVGA GTX 780 SC
Very good Mavericks support, Yosemite needs webdrivers, which can be a bit laggy
Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-Z87M-D3H
Again, should've gone for the bigger non-M variant, apparently got more free drives and SATA ports are filling up like crazy
Sound: Realtek ALC892
Used Toleda's SSDT injection and AppleHDA patch. Works perfectly (STAY AWAY FROM VOODOOHDA)
RAM: 4x2 Corsair Vengeance and 4x2 Kingston HyperX
Network: Belkin USB-N300
It uses Realtek RTL8192SU (Nope not a typo, SU not CU. Weird, eh? SU is NOT supposed to be a USB adapter, but it somehow is.) Downloaded drivers from Realtek's site, works perfectly. Needs additional Ethernet kext to enable appstore. Not a native AirPort card
Drives... [emoji57]
- A makes-Chameleon-slow WD Green 2TB AF
- Samsung 840 PRO SSD 512GB, cr4pping out, win8.1 and Gentoo
- Samsung 840 EVO SSD 256GB, no OSX ATM
- Seagate Barracuda 1TB

[Q] Recommended hardware for Android Studio?

Hi, I'm a new Android developer and I would like to know what is a recommended build for developing applications for android like 2D games and utility apps. Will Android Studio benefit from multiple cores like an 8 core processor? Will adding more RAM be better (8GB RAM)? I made this build and already own Monitor, mouse, keyboard, and network card.
CPU: AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor ($165.93 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($69.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($59.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($48.45 @ OutletPC)
Case: Antec One ATX Mid Tower Case ($47.30 @ Amazon)
Power Supply: EVGA 500W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply ($39.99 @ Amazon)
Optical Drive: Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE DVD/CD Writer ($13.98 @ Newegg)
Total: $445.63
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

Your hardware seems sufficient enough as it is.
Good graphic card always help.

This hardware will run AS pretty smoothly. In fact, it runs well on Macbook Air 2013 - but builds sometimes take quite a bit of time(up to a minute vs 20 sec on my desktop which is a monster)

You're fine. I run Android Studio on a quad core AMD from 2011 and an NVIDIA GTS 250 with 4GB of RAM.

I want to share one more thing, on Mac OS, run Android Studio with Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 for optimized font rendering. You can then configure your project to use Java Development Kit (JDK) 6 or JDK 7.
All the best. :good:
