Other details for omissions from the above list, with related questions for anyone who might know:
- To get WiFi working, I was going to follow the purchases and guide in this guy/girl's build. Does anyone know if I could do the same but even better by purchasing the newest possible OEM MacBook Pro or Air chip that I can find on the market?
- I am Re-using two Samsung EVO 500gb SATA SSDs, and one 3.5 Seagate 2th HDD for all internal memory.
- Re-using monitor, mouse/KB, and speakers (along with a Scarlett 2i4 external audio interface for home studio stuff)
- Is the RAM I have selected ideal, or is there a way with that or a different mobo to "go faster?" Sorry for the dumb Q, but I haven't kept up with types and clock speeds since my last build.
- Does anyone here have specific experience with this case? Other than the GPU fitting, my main concerns are whether I should use the case fan controller, the mobo controller, or if using both is possible; whether fans should be replaced for even more silence; and if I will have any trouble with a modular SFX power supply such as the one I picked out.
BIG THANK-YOU TO ANYONE WHO TAKES A LOOK OVER THIS
