Need advice about new DAW build!
Hi everyone im gonna make a new DAW pc build for my new home studio and i will make it hackintosh and need your advice.First of all this is my main build:

Case:Fractal Design Arc Midi
PSU: Antec HCG 620W
Heatsink: Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo
GPU:Gigabyte GTX 660 OC 2gb (for some gaming)
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X 16gb 1600mhz CL9 (2x8)
SSD: 2x Intel 330 180GB SSD (1 for Windows 7 +Cubase+VST) (1 for Os x Lion + Logic)
HDD: WD 1TB Caviar Black (samples)
HDD2: Hitachi Dekstar 1TB (back up+Video)
Soundcard: NI Komplete 6 USB

And here is my question now,because with the compatibility with hackintosh im between this 2 choices
3770K + GA-z77X-UD5H (550eurws) or 2700K+ GA-Z68-UD3H-B3 (460eurws)
The 3770K have 10.5% higher score than 2700K in passmark but cost 16.5% more than 2700K(+mobo)
and my question is will i recognise this better performance in DAW or not?
I use about 30channels with 5-6 FX's per channel + about 7 synths (omnisphere included) +1-2 samplers sometimes.
So should i get 3770K for better performance or the 2700K?

There are better coolers, IMHO.

SSD, if Intel will be the 520.
Also check out the Samsung 830.
FWIW, coming from Crucial SSD in the past, I've been using Sandisk Extreme 240GB SSD and they've been great. Very fast read and writes, stable, affordable.

the intel 330 is cheapest at 180GB and i dont think i will see difference in speed and i need 2ssd for win7 and os x lion so i dont wanna spend lot money on this,i know about samsung 830 is much better and whas been my priority but i need 2 ssd and better i give 250eurws for 2x180gb than 200eurws for 2x128.My main question is to choose 3770K or 2700K and not the other parts,ofcourse all comments are welcome but help me with this plz.And which cooler u prefer for this price?Noctua is expensive and i wont make overclock for beggining and if i do wont be more than 4-4.2Ghz.
