I have never built a computer before, but I intend to build a Hackintosh. I am attempting to educate myself and have done some research, but because I have used pre-built Macs for the majority of my life I don't know as much as a lot of more experienced users.

I will be editing this initial post to include summaries of your answers. This will make it easy for me to refer to it.

- "Most standard bits of hardware work just fine."
- "Apple accessories…work just fine."
- "Anything that works with a real Mac will work with a Hack."
My course of action:
- Bought an ASUS VS Series VS238H-P monitor.
- Bought a SteelSeries Kana Optical Gaming Mouse.
- Bought a Kensington K72357US Slim Type USB Keyboard.
