i want to make a lot of money by making an ipad app, but also play cutting edge video games

what i'm getting at is what parts do i need to make a hackintosh??? my budget is 500, plus like 80 for a monitor which is the best monitor for 80? or should i buy more ram or something? i don't have a monitor but i can hook my new computer up to my tv right?

bitspower makes them, they use 1/4" tubing, and they are about $60 and cool that corsair set of ram so for only $120 you can have watercooled ram

question: do i really need an SSD if im just going to ramdisk everything to 32GB of ram? it seems like a waste when i could just connect a 4TB drive in its place

Still need an ssd to load the data into your ramdisk after startup, so just pick up the fastest drive available, the ocz vector. Preferably 2, and preferably in raid0.

normally you would use those to replace the non-plated jumpers on your motherboard, but unless the pins are gold plated too they won't help. best to just get a fatal1ty board and not worry about it and keep the bag for spares in case the stock ones burn out
