Hello people! I recently sold my Hackbook (Acer Laptop and it had OS X ML) and I've been wanting to move completely to OS X as my main OS. So, I figured since I have to buy a new computer, why not choose parts that will make the usage of OS X on a PC as painless as it can be, and I decided to buy the stuff from the Buyer's Guide. I want your opinion on the build I have my eyes on right now:

Intel Core i7-4770K Tray,3,5 GHZ, 8MB Cache, LGA 1150, VGA
Gigabyte Z87X-UD3H, ATX
Scythe Katana 3, only for Intel-CPUs
16GB Kit Crucial Ballistix Sport Series DDR3-1600, CL9
Corsair Carbide Series 300R, ATX, without PSU
Corsair Enthusiast Series RM650, Modular, 80 Plus Gold 650 Watt
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 760 WindForce 3X OC, 2GB GDDR5, 2x DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort
Seagate Barracuda 7200 2000GB, SATA 6Gb/s
ASUS BC-12D2HT/BLK/B Bulk Silent
TP-LINK TL-WDN4800

So, how do you like the build? I tried to use as many of the Buyer's Guide things I can find.
Any pointers? Will this be a good build for runing OS X on it without complications?

Thank you in advance!
 
Looks good :thumbup:

No SSD? Even a small one for the boot drive would make a world of difference!

The optical drive isn't one from the buyers guide so double check it doesn't have any issues with sleep/wake etc...
 
Oops, just saw the accessories table and I'll probably get the LG BluRay one.

And about the SSD, I'm thinking of getting one, but later. :)

But OS X will run good on this build I presume? And thank you to tonymac for making those guides! <3
Also, can I use a friend's MacBook to make a bootable USB for my PC when I get it? :)
