Wanting to Check Compatibility

[schmelzerb]

Hey all, this will be my first Hackintosh build and I've done some research on my own but I figured I'd come to you all for the best advice on the compatibility of my build.


Here's the List:

Mobo,
GIGABYTE GA-X79-UP4 LGA 2011 Intel X79


Graphics Card,
PNY VCGGTX7702XPB-OC G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 770 2GB


PSU,
NZXT HALE90 V2 NP-1GM-1000A 1000W


CPU,
Intel Core i7-5930K Haswell-E 6-Core 3.5GHz LGA 2011


Drive's,

SSD (Boot Drive),
SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE500BW 2.5" 500GB


HDD (Storage),
WD BLACK SERIES WD2003FZEX 2TB 7200 RPM

​

RAM,
G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 x2



Wireless Card,
TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 Dual Band Wireless N900 PCI Express Adapter


Bluetooth Dongle,
[h=1]IOGEAR Bluetooth 4.0 USB Micro Adapter (GBU521)[/h]



I know some of you are thinking what the heck is this guy doing that he needs all that CPU and RAM power for!?! I use a lot of programs that are CPU and RAM heavy so for me to spend that much on it is worth it.


Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Thanks all!
Brian

Don't have a lot of experience with the 2011 builds, but I think the Haswell-E CPUs require the X99 boards. Annoyingly the chipset is called 2011 for both the X79 and X99, but the Haswell-E require the 2011-3 from the X99 boards.

Also 1000W is probably overkill...

Otherwise looks good. the X99 is pretty new so builds are sparse but there is definitely some good results coming through. Have a look on the forum to know what you are getting into!

Well, that's a bummer. At least I could find an X99 for $10 more than the X79. About the PSU I can get that 1kw for the price of a Crossair 850 + $10 more. Plus if I want to add in couple of more GPU cards later I can without having to worry about power.
