First forum post.
First of all i have a few question.
1. Can Apple sue me for a Hackintosh?
2. Can Apple find out I have a Hackintosh?
3. Can I go to jail for building a Hackintosh?
4. Can I SLI GTX 780's?

Secondly.
I would love to build a hackintosh but dont know the best build. I am willing to spend no more then $2500 for this Hackintosh and want the best parts possible. Also if you are giving me the build could you also tell me what drivers to get as I have no clue on what drivers to get.

Thanks,
Adsero110

The best build for you depends on what you want to do with it.
Take a look at some Golden Builds to give you some ideas.

Good Luck

Thanks alot for this help. One more question.
If I do sli GTX 780's and install both OSX Mavericks and Windows 8.1 can I use the SLI for Windows 8.1 and not for Mavericks or will it effect Mavericks? Also where can I request builds as I would love a proper beast machine but don't know the best parts for CustoMac. By the way I would love if you could include the drivers

Windows will see SLI, OS X will not, but it will recognize the gfx cards as individual cards - multiple cards are supported.

Looks good but you'll want to change the Ram to Crucial. Pick one of the three version in the
current Buyer's guide. Corsair Vengeance does not work well with Haswell/Mavericks systems.
