All looks good. :thumbup: If you want to save 48 dollars on the HDD you can get the newer model.

It shouldn't give you the boot0 error but if so it's very easy to fix. Have you considered an
SSD for the OS X boot drive? Really speeds things up.
 
thanks! this forum has already saved me $50. and for now i am going with a regular hdd. possibly later i will transfer to ssd. does carbon copy cloner work with hackintosh?

yes!
 
I like your build and have a very similar system also for audio work.

I have two questions, why do you need a firewire card when the motherboard has two firewire ports and why do you need such a huge video card when you are building this for audio? The mother board supports multiple 4k monitors with up to 1GB of ram. As far as I understand GPUs do nothing for audio work.

Cheers,
