This is what I have for my budget Hackintosh build so far; I plan on using it for photo editing, design and some gaming. I also plan to triple boot it with Windows and Linux.
I'm not sure what graphics card to get and I want to keep the price low, but I read that the integrated graphics that come with the i3 might be sufficient for my needs now. I also plan on upgrading to a SSD in the future since SSD prices are predicted to drop later in the year, and then using the HDD for storage. Is this a good idea or are there good SSD deals now?
I mostly want to know if there are any parts in my build that can be replaced with another part that has more value per dollar.
