Hi Everyone,

I am super excited to build my first hackintosh and I need some advice for components verification. However, I will be using some components from another desktop that I have.
The main intended purpose of this build would be Web Design (Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks) and Web Development. So, here's the list of parts below:


  • Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H97M-D3H
  • CPU: i5 4570, 3.2 GHz
  • RAM: Kingston HyperX Blu 8GB, 1600Mhz
  • PSU: PSU: Corsair VS550 550 Watt
------(I already own the parts mentioned below)------

  • Hard Disk-1: WD Caviar Blue 1TB (for OS X)
  • Hard Disk-2: Seagate Barracuda 500 GB (for Windows)
  • Optical Drive: LG DVD Rewriter GH24NS70 (SATA, MAX. 24X DVD±R)
  • Cabinet: iBall Glory (http://trade.indiamart.com/details.mp?offer=1857273112)
  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS, 512MB DDR2, PCI-E
  • Screen: LG Flatron 19inch, 1400x900

Things I plan to upgrade sometime in future, but not at the moment:
More RAM
An SSD
Video Card
Secondary Screen similar in size and resolution to the one I have!

So, my questions are:

  1. Would this build work fine?
  2. Can I and/or should I use the video card mentioned in the list? If no, then can I go ahead wothout a video card for now?
  3. Have I missed anything? (excpet for keyboard, mouse, speaker. I don't need wifi and bluetooth)

Thank you so much, in advance.

Answers:
1. Yes
2. Try the installation without the GPU first.
3. No.
