Hello, I'm completely new to this this hackintosh game.


My computer specs are:


Dell Optiplex 755 Motherboard (Mini Tower)
Intel Core2Quad Q6600
PNY Geforce GTX 650 (Non-Ti)
8GB DDR2 Ram
TP-LINK PCI Wireless Adapter
Antec USB 3.0 PCI-E card
430W Power Supply


Are the hardwares compatible for a Hackintosh? Will mine run Yosemite OS X without a problem?


I want to install OS X because I want to learn Objective C programming (and possibly Final Cut) and don't wanna buy a real mac. :p


Also, please send me a good tutorial on installing Yosemite OSX on my PC.


Thanks.

I am not sure if a GTX 650 would fit in Dell Optiplex enclosure. Check to see if the TP-LINK wireless adaptor is OS X friendly. Put the make & model into the site search facility and read over some of the threads that are available. The Antec USB 3.0 card may or may not work.

This should get you started. :thumbup:

Thank you! And I'm currently running on the GTX 650. PNY version got a single slot one. Its working wonderful! And I know GTX-XXX models have native support.
I am not really hearing good things from Yosemite on Optiplex. Should I get Mountain Lion instead? and will I still be able to run XCODE on it?

I think that the GTX650 got proper support in 10.8.5 so it should work OK. I am not a developer, suggest that you look towards Apple for guidance on Xcode:
