In theory your motherboard, CPU and GPU should all work. Have you started the build or are you looking at different options?

I am not sure that the GPU will work with the monitor which is VGA only. Getting VGA working is getting very difficult. There are less cards that will likely work now than there were 3 months ago. This card looks as if it might work - it also comes with low profile adaptors in the box.

For more on the demise of VGA:

The original problem with VGA and OS X is that OS X does not support it - we nee to use cards/adaptors that make it possible. You are going to need to change the monitor at some point soon.

If you intend to install using Snow Leopard to update to Mavericks then the GT610 will not work.

OK, the monitor has DVI-D as an input. Next question, what is the price difference between an i3-3225 or G1610 processor compared to the price of G1610 and GT610 GPU?

Either option will work. Any other questions?

There is a $52.01 difference on i3-3225 or G1610 + GeForce GT610.
CPU: G1610: $42.99

Do you have access to a Mac or another Hack to create your UniBeast flash drive with Mavericks or Mountain Lion?

Mavericks is free and easy to get. Mountain Lion costs $20 and must be downloaded on to a compatible Mac/Hack. If you need to use the Snow Leopard option then having a mixed Sand Bridge / Ivy Bridge combination is going to give you lots of grief. Other than that it looks good.

No, so That's why I have a Problem with that I don't have a Mac even my friend doesn't have a Mac. I don't even have another hack.
