Hello friends I am going to build my 1st Hackintosh for photo editing, video editing and graphics designing work.

I will be using software's like Adobe PS CC 2014, Illustrator CC 2014, Final Cut Pro2, Adobe Premiere Pro CC, Adobe Indesign, QuarkXpress, Adobe Dreamweaver etc.

Here is what i decided for my CustoMac Pro:

Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD3H
Processor Intel Core i7-4790K
Gigabyte GV-N760 OC 2GB Graphics Card
Transcend 16GB DDR3 1600Mhz Ram (8x2) (will expand to 32GB DDR3 1600Mhz later)
Corsair 256GB SSD
Toshiba 2TB SATA Desktop HDD
Corsair 750W Gaming Power Supply
Asus Dual Layer DVD R/W
Thermaltake Spacecraft VF-l casing

My questions :


1)Is there a necessity of graphics card as in the Buyers guide july 2014 for CustoMac Pro it is stated that graphics card is optional. Can anyone suggest me on this??


2)is there any necessity of TP-Link PCI Express Wifi Adapter? because i prefer to use LAN only.


3)Is there any suggestions for MoBo cheaper than Z87X-UD3H which can used hassle free for CustoMac Pro ?


Thanks

Sounds like you want to do real work on your new machine. With that said, it's always good to avoid Dev previews and betas..

I would stick with 10.9 if I were you..

Mavericks. As for Yosemite, we'll have to wait until Fall when Apple releases Yosemite to the public.

See tonymacx86's post on the Yosemite Public Beta: http://www.tonymacx86.com/apple-news-rumors/137741-os-x-yosemite-public-beta.html

For the programs you want to run an Nvidia GTX760 would be a good choice, especially for
Premiere Pro.

You don't have to get one if you'll use the wired ethernet only.

I would go with the UD3H as it's a very good choice and durable, reliable.
You can find lower prices now that the Z97 boards are out.
 
Thank you all for giving good suggestion i find peace in this forum and best users ever :)
