Q: Best PowerMac G5 spec for me..? (CPU, GPU, PSU, RAM, HDD, etc)
Hi
I want to buy a PowerMac G5 but am stuck on which model to try and buy off eBay. I want to buy a PowerMac in the short term whilst i save for a Mac Pro - so that all i need to do is swap the tower (..ish)
I am a 16 yr old student and use the following porgrams;
Adobe Photoshop CS3/4
Adobe Illustrator "
Adobe After Effects "
Aobe InDesign
Final Cut Pro
Microsoft Office / iWork
Minecraft
I dont want to buy the Quad-core becuase as i said i am trying not to spend too much and they are going for quite a lot. I want to upgrade and I dont mind buying faulty
So what I'd like to know is suggestions for;
-CPU
-Graphics card - nVidia Quadro FX 4500 ..?? (must be able to run dual cinema diplays)
-PSU
And the best upgrades for suggested model eg. max ram etc.
I am not new to macs but have recently been using a PC due to financial restraints and want to revert back
Many Thanks ahead,
I live in the UK and would rather not import things from the US as i have been stung by UK customs before
