To start, I've been using a late 2011 MBP 13" for about 4 years now and I've recently started university so I thought I'd upgrade my machine. Originally I planned on purchasing a new MBP or MBA, but then changed my mind and was looking at buying a monitor and keyboard only and continue using my current MBP. I was looking at the prices of some decent monitors ranging in the $500-$700 price range and I thought "Why not spend a little extra and buy a PC?". The benefits of having a monitor larger than 13" really entices me too.
So with that being said I looked around for hackintosh builds and guides.
My budget is around $800- Moderate gaming, Premiere, having a large number of word/powerpoint/excel documents open (Maybe it's normal for any kind of PC to be able to handle 3+ word documents open because my MBP ****s itself when I attempt anything like that, or maybe my standards are really low). Case size I don't really mind, a smaller case I would be able to leave on my table and a larger case can just go on the floor. A relatively quiet PC would be ideal too.
I have zero experience in terms of building a PC and part compatibility so I followed the February Buyer's guide and settled on the CustoMac Budget ATX guide but I hit a problem. I'm going to be ordering 100% of my parts (If possible) from Umart Australia. I used this "Build a computer" page to input all the parts

I couldn't find the recommended RAM and I'm not sure what other types are compatible with a hackintosh build. I'm very open to other suggestions and recommendations that other users may have, thank you in advanced.
