Have you read the "Rules"?:angel:

Articles-->Hardware.;)

You can't put an Intel processor in an AMD motherboard.:angel:

Yes, you should. The "problem" is only consist of that you will need to use the HD4000 for the installation, and when you are ready, disable in the BIOS the integrated graphics and put it in the HD6870. After these you should be able to boot without any issues. May you will need to add...

Definitely. I'm glad.:angel:

Please be more specific in the future... I'm not a medium.;) It means that the "K" word in the CPU's model name indicate the overclock ability. But with a B75 chipset it's not possible to overclock. So, if you don't need it, go for a cheaper CPU without OC possibilty. Does it makes sense if I...

The only card which suffice your needs is the HD6870. They are not specific to Sandy Bridge Customacs, you are able to use it until Apple discontinue their support.

600W for this tiny build? You would able to operate two builds with that PSU. OCable CPU in a B75 chipset? What for? I don't know your stimulus threshold therefore I can't help. The FD R4 case has a good sound-proofing I guess. Until the case supports mATX boards it's all the same.

According to a topic here on the forum, with darkwake=10 the auto-sleep is working.

The USB 3.0s' are controlled by the chipset, therefore the CPU is fine.

If on this system Lion worked well (only you know this exactly), Mountain Lion shouldn't be a problem neither.

My other half says that he would add a graphics card to the computer and would try the installation, but my other half says a new, cheap Hackintosh build would be the best for everyone.

Well, without AHCI mode in the BIOS it is already impossisble. Two, I'm very new to this but after reading through the topics and the builds on here, transforming a server to Hacktintosh is very complicated because of the incompatible devices; like your integrated graphics. Would you mind to...

Second part of you message is the answer to you question.

I'm sorry to say this, but no chance of installing OS X on this system.
