My Specs:

Core i5-2500K 3.3Ghz CPU
Gigabyte H61N-USB3 Motherboard
Asus 6850 Graphics Card

This was my first attempt at installing OS X onto a PC. I had trouble at first, but I have finally found a method of installing Mac OS X 10.8.2 onto this system where everything works 100%. I have written this guide in the hope of being able to help anyone else with the same components.

Step 1: Remove the graphics card. With the graphics card installed, installation will not begin.

Step 2: Boot from your Unibeast flash drive and type "GraphicsEnabler=No"

Step 3: Select the language

Step 17: The next thing I did was partition the hard drive and make a 100gb backup drive. I then used super duper to clone the original drive so that I had a backup in case anything went wrong.

Step 18: Once I had a backup to revert back to, I installed the 10.8.2 combo update.

Step 19: Reboot with "GraphicsEnabler=No"

Step 26: Run Multibeast again and install the "GraphicsEnabler=No" kext. The computer now will boot without any issues.

I noticed that now, the internal hard drives were showing the icons for external hard drives. They do function as normal internal drives though.

Step 27: Install the graphics card back into the computer

Step 28: Reboot, and without having to type anything, the hackintosh will work perfectly. Sound and sleep both work perfectly now.

UPDATE

Step 29: To get the graphics working properly with the graphics card. You have to now boot with "GraphicsEnabler=Yes".

Step 30: Open org.chameleon.Boot.plist and change "GraphicsEnabler=No" to "GraphicsEnabler=Yes", save it and reboot.

Step 31: Open multibeast and navigate to Network -> Realtek - AppleRTL8169Et...

Step 32: Install that and reboot.

The hackintosh is now complete. Booting works. Graphics work. Sleep and wake both work. Ethernet works. Sound works. Everything Works.

If this guide can help even just one person, then it was worth it.
