Hardware Advice

Hi there!

I'm completely new at this, but I'm going to build a hackintosh in order to save money. I've ordered these components:

EVGA GeForce GT430,
Intel® Core™ i7-870,
MS-TECH LC-190,
Samsung SH-S223C,
Enermax UCMA8 Magma,
ASUS P7P55D-E PRO,
Trust BT-2400p,
Samsung HD204UI,
Kingston HyperX 4 GB DDR3-1333 Kit,
Chieftec APS-550S,

I'm sorry they're not in order, it's a copy paste from my order sheet.
Any thoughts to the list? Does it seem compatible?

Thanks!

Is there a reason why you would go with core i7 870 & P7P55D-E PRO, when core i7 950 & GA X58A USB3 combo would run about the same cost but better performance and better future proofing? Just a thought. Good luck!

Well, the website I ordered all my components from did not have those options. I live in the Netherlands and I know of only 2 sites where you can order everything in one go (incl monitor) and I'm in a bit of a rush to get my computer so I chose the site with a pc builder.
So basically, no reason...

You should be happy with your setup. I was just curious...

Watchout for the GT430 since I have seen that there are 'freeze' issues with NVIDIA 4xx cards that I just recently learned of.
