I am planning my first Hackintosh build.
0. What I have
Currently I have a Macbook Pro 13" Mid 2010 with OS X 10.8 an 80GB SSD + 500GB HDD.
I also have two spare 2.5" Samsung 500GB HDDs which I want to use fo this build.
1. What I want
A small "Mac" which can run Adobe Lightroom, Office, a little bit of Photshop and very little Gaming (TF2, Diablo 3, etc.).
-----------------------------------------------------
2. What i am planning to buy
Case/PSU: Silverstone Sugo SG05 or SG06 (with 450W PSU) - 120€
Mainboard: Gigabyte GA B75N Mini-ITX - 80€
CPU: Intel i5-3450 CPU (with Intel HD2500) - 170€
SSD: Samsung SSD 840 Basic 120GB - 85€
Ram: 8GB No specific Bradn yet - 35€
GPU: GTX 650 OR GTX 650 TI - 90€/125€
Optional:
CPU Cooler: Samuel 17 OR Corsair H60
-----------------------------------------------------
I want to install OSX on the SSD, Win8 on one HDD and keep the other HDD for Data (Photos,Music & Co) in OSX.
Some Questions:
1) Is everything compatible?
2) I know that the HD2500 is not supported in general use, but could I install OSX with it, in Case there is some trouble with the GTX 650 (TI)?
3) Should I upgrade to a 3570k for the HD4000, altough I won't use expect for Installation?
4) Do both 650 and 650 TI work OOB? Can I install ML with them installed?
5) Should I change the B75N to a H77N? AFAIK the WIFI of the H77N doesn't work, or does it?
6) Any suggestions for a USB WLAN Solution?
