Good Day to you all good people.
First of all let me introduce myself. My name is Kris I'm from UK and I'm thinking about converting my Windows PC in to the Hackintosh. I have read through Buyers guide and it has answered a lot of my questions but I still would like to post here my Rig and ask some additional questions regarding comparability.
I have pretty much completed my rig and the only thing missing is GPU and I would like to know your opinion if this GPU will work MAC OS X
So the Rig:
CPU: Intel Core i5 4690K http://www.scan.co.uk/products/inte...z-base-39ghz-turbo-1200mhz-gpu-84w-cpu-retail
Mother-Board: MSi Z97M-G43 (mATX) http://www.scan.co.uk/products/msi-...-crossfirex-d-sub-displayport-dvi-d-hdmi-uatx
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Blue 8GB DDR3 1600MHz http://www.scan.co.uk/products/8gb-...1600)-non-ecc-unbuffered-cas-9-9-9-24-xmp-15v
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB http://www.scan.co.uk/products/1tb-...014-sata-6gb-s-7200rpm-64mb-cache-8ms-ncq-oem
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB - http://www.scan.co.uk/products/250g...nd-512mb-cache-read-540mb-s-write-520mb-s-97k
PSU: Chieftec Fully Modular 750W - It's about 6 years old and I'm unable to locate the exact model
GPU: MSI Nvidia GTX 970 Gaming - http://www.scan.co.uk/products/4gb-...r5-gpu-1140mhz-boost-1279mhz-cores-1664-dp-hd
Because of my PC's location I'm also using this Wi-Fi dongle - I think this is what might be causing an issue BT Dual-Band Wi-Fi Dongle http://www.shop.bt.com/products/bt-dual-band-wi-fi-dongle-600-8W45.html
The above Wi-FI dongle doesn't support plug-and play and Drivers have to be manually installed.
One more thing: I don't have access to Mac or Hackintosh to create a bootable USB containing the OS, is it possible to do this virtually? so I set up a virtual machine running OS X Yosemite in Virtual Box and using this VM I create a bootable USB Flash Drive?
Best Regards,
Kris
