Hello people, i just sold my AMD pc today and need some help purchasing the correct hardware for my hackintosh.
The parts i will be picking are

Cooler Master Elite 430 - Mid Tower case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119227

Intel Core i7-3770 Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (Not the K version) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116502

GIGABYTE GA-Z77-DS3H Motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128547R

Powertech PT-750WATT PSU( its a cheap one for like 35euro-50$) its good that it has 1x 6+2pin and 1x 6pin connector for the gpu and it fits my budget, cant afford a corsair or so.

8GB ddr3 mushkin http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226260

and the tricky part for me which i need help.

660 ti msi http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127696

or gtx 760? phantom edition i like the cooler :p http://www.gainward.com/main/edm/GTX760/gw_edm_GTX760.php

i dont know which one to choose thats why i need your help :clap:

i know the gtx 770 is very new and i see most people have issues but some have success. im planning to use this system on mountain lion for some developement and video/photo editing. those parts cost 750euro which is 1.000$


i would like to go for the 770 and the 4770 not K version but it will be compability issues, i know they will be updated etc the drivers and kernels but i want a stable system to use from next week.

So my option is to buy gtx 660 ti and 3770 Not K edition since it fits my budget.


Can you tell me what problem i will face if i go for the 760 and if i use socket 1550? mountain lion version only not mavericks.

And if my choices on parts are correct for mountain lion.(dual boot win 7 and mac osx)


PS. I do not own a mac or have a friend who has a mac to use unibeas so it will take me some time to find someone with a mac to do it but i need to get this pc fast :)

Thank you in advance
 
No one wants to reply me? i will order this build tomorrow need your help...
im more to go with the 760 but i want to know how much capable is to run osx mountain lion, wont use mavericks yet.

so 3770 non K edition and gtx 760 is the parts i want to use. i want out of the box gpu to work tho, shall i go with the 660ti then? the system is for gaming on windows and programming/editing on mac

I'm fairly certain that the 7xx cards should pose little problems for you. The 6xx still offer great performance for the price as well and they are natively supported as well. It's pretty much up to you. I'm sure if you went with a 7xx card and ran into a problem someone on this forum had a solution
 
okey thank you, i will pick gtx 760 then as it has 33% more memory bandwith also. now for the last part is the cpu i have to pick.
1155 or 1150 socket? 3770 non k edition or 4770 non k edition any thoughts?
