EVGA GTX740 single slot from the Buyer's guide shou be OK for light gaming and in under USD$100 at Newegg or Amazon - don't know what price is for you locally.

Thankyou, do you own a hackintosh. If yes, then does it crashes too often like every month or maybe week...

Don't know if it helps, but I ran OSX 10.8 on my rig (sig) for about a month with edited DSDT along with some Linux Drivers to run my on board sound. It was a bumpy ride to get it going, but once I was finished; it ran very well.

Well enough that I'm now building my own Hackintosh, except this time I'll be using natively supported components so install OSX vanilla (just like you would on a real mac) which will make things easier .

I have several builds. The GA-X58A-UD7 is my main work machine. I am happy to say that once I get it working properly I have had no crashes caused by apps running on it.
I get a KP or 2 every time I update the OS, but I expect that until I get everything set right again. I currently have a drive for 10.6.8, 10.7.5, 10.8.5, 10.9.5 and 10.10.1 that I can insert into the hot swap bay and boot the OS. All work well. Have had to make some adjustments to each as I installed, but they do work well with Chimera boot loader.
Have tried Clover, but without a UEFI BIOS on this board, there is no advantage to using Clover.

I have a build I maintain for a relative that is a MSI H77MA-G43 + core i5 3570K, currently running Mavericks. Another build is a MSI Z77A-GD65 + core i5 3570K running Mountain Lion, another with an Asus P8Z77I with a core i5 3570K running Mountain Lion that I am currently working to update to a SSD and Yosemite booting with Clover, an Asus Z87I-Deluxe with a core i5 4460 running Yosemite.

I am also currently building a new upgraded X99 build to replace the -UD7 as my main work machine.

My daily driver Hackintosh is more stable and crashes less often than the Macbook Pro I used to own. If configured properly and built with quality components, there's no reason any Hackintosh should be less stable than a "real" Mac.

Thank you, now i am fully prepared to build a hackintosh without any worries. Thanks again.

Thank you for the information, it's sure that i am going to go with a hackintosh and not any mac product.
