If I bought a copy of Mac OS X could I run it with this system?

Specs:

CPU:Intel Core i5 3570K
GPU: Nvidia GTX 460 768MB/Intel HD 4000
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 4GB 1600Mhz
MB: GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 Rev 1.3 U1L
SSD: SanDisk 120GB Exteme Sata 3 6GBPS

I don't think anything else matters but these specs if you need more info I can provide. I am new to Hackintosh community and have no clue what i'm doing.
 
The CPU, RAM, SSD and motherboard are compatible, many have been built with those.
I do not know about the GPU though, since OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion only has drivers for the 5xx and 6xx series. Maybe try the search field on the top right to look for that.
 
- See if you can get a Z77 motherboard since they're a lot better for 'hackintoshing'.
- Also, get 8 gigs of RAM (it's pretty much the soft spot nowadays!).
- Change the graphics card to either onboard graphics (Intel HD4000 in your case) or get a GTX 5xx/GTX 6xx/Radeon HD 6850/Radeon HD 6870 (still not sure though).

That's about all I can think of!
 
Hey could i run a hackintosh system based off this hardware?

Motherboard: Asus P8Z77 V-xl
PSU: Corsair TX650
CPU: i5 3570K
RAM: 2 x 4GB Ripjawz 1600mhz
GPU: Asus Radeon HD 7850 2GB
HDD: WD Blue
 
So if i run HD4000 graphics I should not have much problems? I don't care about graphics performance.
