New 2010 Build

[Jbarns321]

I plan on Vista with one 500gb hard drive and Mac OS X with the other. Think that would be hard to do. I have discs for both OS.

I am working on a budget of 900 dollars. Mainly going to be used for lower end games like RTS's and Sim type games. Possibly a little WoW.

Please leave any reccomendations for any changes that I might want to check out.

P.S. I already have a 9800 GT 1GB Vid Card. I don't think I will need much more. Also have Optical Drive

Alright one problem mate, I am pretty sure that you can not get Mac to run on a AMD based mobo / CPU combo.

No, it's possible it just takes a little bit of tweaking to get it to work. There are quite a few communities out there that make drivers for OSX to run on just about anything you can think of.

does osx support more than 4 gigs? and default vista 32 generally only sees 3 gigs though sometimes it registers there is more but i doubt its getting utilized correctly?

there is a ram combo with that mobo for $169.99

anyway your picks are pretty solid it seems. im not nuts about coolermaster psu, but a lot of people have them. just personal preference, they were not up to par a few years back, but they might have turned that around.
if your lucky that cpu fan for the pump or rad will mount to the side of the case since its already drilled for 120mm. not sure how big that water unit is, other than that i think it will fit everything in fine.

32 bit os systems ONLY sees 4 gigs of ram total. when you add a grafic card with f.x 1 gig of ram, 3 gb will show up in you os. you cant use the last gb. for that, you will have to go 64 bit.

I have a Vista 64 Professional or Ultimate Laying around I was going to use. If It is to difficult to go with a OSX on an AMD board then I have no problem switching my stuff around to work with a Intel Chip and Board. I was looking into the i5 stuff.
