What are my options?

So this is my current build:

i3 3220
ASRock H77 Pro4-M
VP450-P
1TB Seagate
500GB Caviar Blue (for Mac OSx)

I don't currently have a graphics card - that was my question. Which one should I get? I'll most likely need a new PSU (I want to get one anyway) and I would like a new case - my Z11 is too big and my M-ATX board looks stupid.

What I'm looking at:

The 7950 vs 7870 (LE)

Which one should I get and why?

I should probably upgrade my CPU as well. I plan on getting a second hand i5 from somewhere or a new one if there's a good price on one.

:juggle:

What is your budget for each component or overall?

I've got 300 GBP now, but get a weekly income of 30 GBP.

This is the 7950 I'm looking at: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/3gb-m...roductId=68953

It's in the Today Only sale for 172 and the 670 is up for 168.

I will be using this with Mac OS x so it HAS to dual boot with Windows 8 and 10.8.5

If you've got £300, I suggest looking at the R9 280X.

The problem I have, is that I only have an i3 3220. I can save up I suppose.

However. I need to get a GPU that is compatible with Mac OS x 100%. I spent too much time trying to get my 7850 working.

I can get a 660 Ti for 130 GBP delivered. It's second hand in immaculate condition. Or I can get a MSI 760 for 185 + the free games which I'll most likely get 20 for in total. What would you recommend I do?

The VP450P is not too bad at all:

You should be able to run a GTX660 off it fine,and AMD is releasing the R9 270 soon too. Its basically a downclocked version of the R9 270X but using a single PCI-E power connector.

Look at the insanelymac forums for good suggestions if you are going the Hackintosh route.

A Gigabyte Z77 board with an Intel I3-3225 (onboard HD4000 graphics) is probably the least troublesome (and relatively inexpensive) way of building a system suitable for OSX.

You can use other boards, and you can use separate graphics cards (even AMD/ATI at a push) and it is possible to use AMD processors BUT for first time least hassle - use a Gigabyte board and an Intel processor with onboard graphics.

You will also learn quite a bit about Mac internals along the way! :)
