[BitFenix Prodigy build] First time!

[disvar]

[BitFenix Prodigy-H77N-3225] Everything works!

EDIT: All works good. The assembling part was easy, but:
-the side connectors have a little triangle for positive which wasnt written on the guides
-the atx 8 pin of the PSU can be divided into 2 atx 4 pin which seems without problem for someone who knows. But I didnt and spent half an hour!
-cable management is a mess
-The installation was fast. After multibeast, the installer for ethernet drivers is launched automatically. Dont panic.
-Stop works.
-Ethernet changes requires turning off and on.
-Sometimes it's slower than my old iMac at turning off, dunno why.

I tried saving some money for a larger case but my budget now is like 600-800€.
Nonetheless I found I can buy an amazing m-ITX build.
I am from Italy so I will display the best price I've found here (without shipping costs).

GOAL: I need stability before anything (no crashes, no sleep issue, some working on FCPX, old apps and games working)
Also an as silent build as an iMac would be great. Depending on money I would go for the better specs included down

No disc drive/keyboard/mouse/wifi/monitor needed

Case: BitFenix Prodigy white 83€
Motherboard: GA-H77N 106€ (lacks firewire...)
CPU: i3-3225 117€
PSU: Corsair CP-9020001-EU Modular 550 W TX550M 70€ (650 seems overkill. What do you think?)

RAM: Corsair 2 x 4 Gb 240-pin DDR3 1600 mhz 36€
HDD: 1 tb CAVIAR BLACK SATA3 3.5 7200/64MB WD1002FAEX 80€ (need the best one for reliability)
SSD: Samsung MZ-7PC128B/WW 128 gb 85€
OS: Mountain Lion 18€

Total 600 €

or

GPU: GTX 650 94€ (hope that's compatible OOB)
I would really get a 660ti but I'm tight on budget. I choose that gpu because of its price/performance ratio
better CPU: i5-3570K +90€

Total 783€

Looks good. To make it run more quiet, Noctua NH-L9i for Intel CPU. Not sure of cost where you are, but will be worth it to silence noisy stock fan.

All the installation process was good.

But now I just cant see the monitor, I'm connected with a dvi to vga adapter.
The fact is that it worked well before restarting from multibeast.

Probably because you were running on the VESA drivers in UniBeast - OS X doesn't like VGA in ML - ML is 64bit all digital gfx - no analog VGA drivers.

Changed display, tried vga and same problem.
DVI works

Scheduled turning on doesnt work as well as the iMac.
On the iMac, i would turn off the multiple socket attached on the wall. When I turn on the bar even if it's after the scheduled turning on, the iMac would start.
The hackintosh doesn't. It can only turn on if power is provided at the exact moment.
