After completing my first Hackintosh install on an older LGA 775 system, I'm now confident enough to build a brand new system. I've configured an LGA 1150 system that I plan on upgrading in the future. I was wondering if it was OS X Compatible. Here it is:

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H97M-D3H (LGA 1150)
Processor: Intel Core i3-4130 (LGA 1150)
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport (8GB)
Storage: Crucial MX100 256GB (X2)
Power Supply: Corsair CX 430W
Case: Fractal Design Core 1000
Wieless Card: TP-Link WDN-4800

Only major problem I see is the fact you have 2 PCIe devices and a single PCIe slot to put them in. Which one do you really want?
Why not replace the on-board mPCIe WiFi card with one that is compatible so the PCIe slot can be used for the GPU?

Thanks for the advice. I'll make the suggested changes.
