Should be OK if you can get the gfx card to work - I seem to recall troubles with the 650ti so use forum search before buying.

Also, your CPU doesn't have compatible gfx so if you have problems with a gfx card you can't take the card out and use the on-CPU gfx.

Look at http://ark.intel.com/products/family/65504/3rd-Generation-Intel-Core-i5-Processors?q=i5 and pich out any CPU with HD4000 gfx and it will work without a gfx card. Check your local supplier for availability. Since most Ivy Bridge are considered EOL and are not being restocked you might have a problem finding one, so check ebay too.
 
Thanks. Local suppliers hasn't good cpu choise and has high prices on everything (videocards only Palit). I will try to find any cpu with HD4000 (if will not run gfx card, I can use on Windows for games :)). I heard Palit videocards is not good for Hackintosh, isn't it??

Palit brand has worked in the past. Depends on how close to reference design and what device id it has in its firmware.
