confirmed tomorrow ill be getting my msi gtx 970 and fractal design arc mini r2 as well as my roccat alumic mousepad. i really need to know how im gonna do this hackintosh install then as i still havent gotten a SINGLE reply
 
Might have waited for help before ordering parts. No reason to post pictures we all know what parts look like.

http://www.tonymacx86.com/basics/104542-im-new-everything-where-do-i-start.html

i already knew i wanted to build with these parts which is why i didnt wait. the main purpose of the thread was to post to see if they are able to support osx since i did search and found very little on the board being compatible or not aside from needing fix for audio and lan. i posted the pictures just to bump when my thread got to the second page not to necessary show parts. i have read that guide but i do not have a optical drive nor access to another mac with my build only usb drive and a windows laptop.
 
ok i got my hackintosh up and running......except the msi gtx 970, ive installed cuda and the web drivers but it still hangs at bluetooth.
