Hello.
My PC is very old, wanna new it. Hope to start OS X ML.
I. Motherboard.
Looked through the motherboards, thought one of 68 chipsets, but then found the Z77.
Started to look through them.
And now I'm confused:
1). Gigabyte GA-Z77P-D3
2). Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3SH
3). ASUS P8Z77-M
4). ASUS P8Z77-V LX
What to choose?
II. Else configuration.
Intel Core i5-2400 OEM
DDR3 8 Gb (2x4Gb) (1600Mhz)
Gigabyte GV-R645-1GI HD 4650 1Gb GDDR3
I think, the CPU is gonna be ok.
As for Graphics Card - not so sure.
Dont want to spend a lot of money on GPU. So, if mine is not supported, or is not running OOB, let me know (found on this forum, that I should edit some kexts?)
If the GPU is not supported - which one of the same (or near) price you recommend me?
Thank you all, guys.

3. nVidia GeForce, GT610 [Gigabyte GV-N610SL-1GI or ASUS GT610-SL-2GD3-L ]
4. nVidia GeForce, GT430 [ASUS ENGT430/DI/1GD3/MG(LP) ]
5. and perhaps (not sure) nVidia GeForce, GT440 [ASUS ENGT440/DI/1GD3 ]
