[ASK] CustoMac mATX and using iMac 27" (late 2009) as display

[trilastiko]

Hello guys, it's been a while since I browsed stuff about hackintosh and it took me one night only to finally purchase all compatible components by reference to the buyer's guide (yes I'm a bit impulsive zzz.) These are the things that I just bought:
Gigabyte GA-Z170MX-Gaming 5
Core i7-6700K
Corsair H60 (Water)
EVGA GTX 950
Crucial Ballistix Sport LT (16GB)
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB
Corsair CS 550 Watt
Fractal Design Core 1000
TP-Link PCI Express Wifi Adapter (N)

For now I'm using the iMac 27" late 2009 and MacBook Air late 2012. I'm using my Mac mainly for photo editing. I didn't purchase any monitor and want to use my iMac as the display. Occasionally, I use my iMac as external display for my MacBook Air using the Thunderbolt to Firewire cable (with adapter to TB for the Air) and it works just fine.



My concern is whether it's possible with those components that I just bought. What additions should I buy in order to make this possible?

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,
Tiko

Ok I'll try to refine my qustion

Which cable do I need to connect the hackintosh to the imac?
• hdmi to mini displayport?
• mini displayport to mini displayport?

Or do I need an extra adapter?

Cheers!
Tiko
