From my experience. An Intel-i3 works fine for everyday computer. Intel-i5 would be better.
A Samsung evo 850 is a good choice. With a 500gb SSD you can make two partions and dual boot OS-X and Windows. OS-X only uses about 15gb of disk space. And you can always move your application to a second disk to save space on your boot disk.
Memory: 8gb minimum, 16gb better.

1tb. Seagate barracuda has worked fine for me as a second disk. ( Storage Disk ).
Might as well buy the Corsair 750 watt PSU. You may need the Wattage in the future if you decide to add a powerfull graphics card. Most grahipcs cards require a minimum of 500 watt PSU.
Power Supply options. Plug and Play for Mac and Windows.

There is a NEW WiFi card now. The TP-Link Archer. which is WIFI-ac
TP-LINK Archer T9E AC1900 Dual Band 802.11AC Wireless PCI Express Adapter, 5Ghz 1300Mbps + 2.4Ghz 600Mbps, Beamforming, 3T3R
Works Vanilla with OS-X Yosemite and MS-Windows.

I also have an
Apple BCM94360CD Bluetooth 4.0 802.11AC Apple Mac Desktop Wireless 1000Mbp Card. PCIe. Which I bought on ebay.com. Uses Native Vanilla kexts from OS-X. Plug and play for OS-X.

Nvidia Geforce GT 610 Graphics card benchmarks out twice better/higher than Intel HD 4000 graphics and better than an Intel i5 graphics. I just used the 610 because it was inexpensive and it has all the ports ( VGA, DVI, HDMI ). Plug and play for OS-X and MS-Windows. The AMD R9 280 appears to be the best value budget video card judging by it's performance specs. However I was able to create and render this video just fine with the Nvidia Geforce GT 610 and can run dual monitors just fine at 1080p. Movie play back in Blu-ray or standard DVD works fine.
hi guys i want to build a cheap hackintosh that work good woth the hardware and that its full compatibility without some problems for install the sistem.
