Hello Guys,
Firstly thanks to members over here for a great forum which helped me in couple of things before for EVDO internet and gaming related stuff.
I have been using my laptop(Dell XPS m1530) with external monitor for all my needs until now, but started to feel its not powerful enough for current needs, and processor is not compatible with latest emulators.
Researched online and came up with the below configuration, one reason for going with Intel is to use this build also as a Hackintosh. Apart from RAM i don't plan to upgrade anything else in next 3 years, so need your suggestions whether build sounds good.
