Advice on new System

[Cazbar]

Ive decided to jump on the Hackintosh movement and been checking out this site. I´ve used the guide for custom builds to find the pieces needed. Here is my shopping list, will theese parts work with a Hackintosh? Most of the stuff i´ve found on this page but the graphics card im not sure about. Will a XFXRadeon HD 6870 work? Rest of the stuff should fit right?

Intel Core i7 2600K Sandy Bridge (3.4 GHz)
GIGABYTE GA-Z68XP-UD3
OCZ Vertex Plus SATA II 120GB SSD
Samsung 1000 GB F3 32 MB (HD103SJ)
Corsair 16GB DDR3 1600MHz Vengeance (4x4gb)
Scythe Mugen 2 rev.B SCMG-2100
XFXRadeon HD 6870
Sony NEC Optiarc AD-7260S-0B Black SATA
Corsair CMPSU-650HXEU Power Supply
Corsair Carbide Series 500R
Belkin Mini Bluetooth Adapter

Cant wait to get this up and running.

Very nice choice of components there, looks good

Only thing I would check is the exact make/model of the bluetooth adaptor and search for it in these forums to see if anyone else has gotten it to work.

That should work well... Good Luck

Yes, this build is good to go! Double check BT adapter is compatible.

Ok, i´ve checked and it seems like the Belkin Bluetooth adapter will work.
What about Wifi-card, how do I work this out?

First i need to get a card right? like:

Intel Wireless WiFi Link 1000
or
Intel Ultimate N WiFi Link 6300

or am I wrong here?

Maybe this will work?

I would highly suggest to go this route: http://tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1143

I managed to snag an Apple Airport Extreme adapter for $15 on ebay, as well as a $6 PCIE adapter. It is, and always will be fully supported by mac!!!

Do NOT go down this route and expect it to work.

The models to look for on eBay are:

BCM94321MC
BCM94322MC

These are what Apple uses or has used and are guaranteed to work.

Also you can search for :

DW1510 - BCM94322HM8L <-- You can search for either of these values

This is a Dell but can be rebranded to make it look and act exactly like the Apple ones above. I actually prefer this one because being a half height card it looks much neater when placed in the PCI-E adaptor. You can tuck the wires away under the cover plate much better than a full height card.

There are others that can be rebranded the same way, but Ive always had 100% success with those mentioned above.



Edit :

eBay links for the DW1510 - http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R4 ... Categories
