Planning on buying these parts later tonight, hopefully all is well with this build, this is basically a final check to get some feedback from the community.

My only 2 questions are... Is there a specific brand or type off SSD that will run better on hackintoshs? I read one post that recommended the Samsung SSDs way over other brands. Also I'm a bit confused when it comes to the OS, I understand that Mountain Lion should be out this week so will that alone be all I need for the OS?

Thanks for the help!

You will of course need Lion installed to updated to ML, or at least access to a mac.
 
Well I do have access to a mac, so basically all I need is that ML file and not Lion?
 
Crucial M4 or Sandisk Extreme.

If you have access to a mac you use Unibeast to install ML from the App Store.

We cannot talk about installation methods until it is released. Wait a day or 2!

So an OCZ that is a bit cheaper is not worth getting?
 
If it is cheaper then no problem. Just suggestions. :geek:
