A couple EASY question about my first build

[TonySkate]

Hi everybody!

My Name is Tony, I am new user in this forum and I am planning to build my first hackintosh, i have been user of a mac pro g5 and at this moment I am owner of an iMac 27' with intel i5. what I said I want to build with my hand my first desktop Hakintosh PC.

I am planning to buy the components recommended by tonymackx86 in this article ( since this is my first project i do not want an expensive hackintosh, i just want a hackintosh with a medium performance), these are the parts that i would like to buy:

• CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K
• Motherboard: GA-Z77X-UD5H
• HDD Seagate Barracuda SATA 6Gb/s 1TB HDD
• 8GB Corsair 1600Mhz DDR3
• Power supply Corsair 650watt
• TP-Link PCI Express Wifi Adapter (TL-WDN4800)
• Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion

As you can see I did not list a graphic card, the question is if can this setup work without a graphic card? maybe in 2 months i will buy a good graphic card for gaming, but at this moment is what I can pay...

I choose the setup recommended by tonymackx86 because i am new and I want to go on the easiest way possible... what do you think?

thank you very much, and sorry i know my english is not the best but i am trying to do my best

I cannot answer your question, but someone is sure to ask what you'll use it for and what kind of monitor(s) you want to drive from this rig.

Everything looks fine to me. The i5-3570K has HD 4000 graphics built-in, which work with Mac OS X.

Your system should work with Mountain Lion. The 3570K has HD4000 CPU graphics which is supported in Mountain Lion.

If you plan to add a graphics card in the future, remember to choose one with support in Mountain Lion (such as a Nvidia GTX660Ti).

Good luck with your build, Tony, you'll do fine.

I am running the 560 Ti just fine in Mountain Lion.

To get it running however, I had to install with it plugged in and boot using the PCIRootUID=0 boot flag for the initial install and for booting before using Multibeast.

I'm not sure how you would get it working after installing everything, but maybe someone else could help you.

But everything looks fine in your setup.
