Here you go. The Pentium G3258 should be good enough for light editing, and if you want to game with it, be sure to overclock it.

Naw... You can probably do better than that.
If you want to edit videos, make sure to go preowned. MUCH better value.

6 cores, and the HD 7870 is ID'd as a D500 in Mac. $422.69. I'll see if I can slash some more $$$, but this is sure unbeatable.

And no, not possible to do what you want right now. Your budget is too low to allow for a 2nd GPU. Current budget for this build is already at $373. Also, correction: 4 cores 8 threads, not 6 cores and 12 threads.

 

[karimhustler]

ok but which gpu you wanted me to install??

 

[okcnaline]

The one I linked, the HD 7870. That one will be recognized as a D500 once you Hackintosh, giving you OpenGL acceleration in Adobe apps.

 

[karimhustler]

its so costly!!
and also i wont buy such used things! coz my loaclity is india! here i wont find such thing!

[okcnaline]

xDDD
Oh, India? Should have said that... If you go around on the forum saying $400 we think USD.

But yeah, get the Q6600 and a GTX 660 Ti then. Mod the GTX 660 Ti into a Quadro K5000. You can find instructions on EEVBlog.

ok so give me the final harware listing if you dont mind!
and in the hardware listing dont add on (harddisk,keyboard and mouse,webcam)
coz with the help of your prescribed hardware and software im going to start building my hackintosh!
and also give me a brief note about the software installation in os x

 

[karimhustler]

then how to mod GTX 660 Ti into a Quadro K5000?
and how it will work? and why are we doing it so?

 

[okcnaline]

Giving you the actual link would be breach of rule on hacks, but look on EEVBlog. Same for helping you with the Hackintosh install, but PM me on that. As for the build, gimme some time. Stuff's more expensive in eBay India.
