Hi,
Below is a list of whet I intend to build my next Hackintosh out of. I believe these parts are all ok, having got them off this site and other sources. Please let me know if I have any obvious problems

Thanks in advance

John

Looks good, but 750W is WAAAY too much for this build. Lower it to a 550W PSU (good branded like Corsair, Antec, Seasonic) and get a SSD like Samsung 830 or Crucial M4 for your boot drive ;)
