I'm going to be building my first hackintosh soon. I have a $1000-$1200 budget,and I want it to be the best it can.
It's mostly for gaming (Diablo 3, Guild Wars 2, Minecraft). I would like to to last for a few years.

Do you have any suggestions to improve it?

The build in a Amazon wish list: http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/FIPM5J945JW5/ref=topnav_lists_2
 
Everything looks good, but you'll want to switch to low profile RAM as the vengeance's heatsinks will definitely interfere with the fan on the H212+. Also, you may want to consider the ASUS version of the 660ti as it has a better cooler and other improvements over the reference card. Watch this video for more info.
 
Thanks for the reply. The Asus 660 look good I added it to the list. What Ram would you suggestion?
 
What Ram would you suggestion?

If you are looking at Corsair Vengeance ram and think the heatsinks are too tall, there is only 1 letter difference in the low profile model.
i.e. you want low profile model of CMZ8GX3MA1600C9 ram, change the Z to an L -> CML8GX3MA1600C9 and search for it -

and if grey is not your color and you would prefer blue, add a B to the end -> CML8GX3M2A1600C9B and search for it -
