Hello !! Sorry for my spelling, I'm French !! :D

I would build a CustoMac (size Mac Mini) and I want to leave a good foundation and what to buy.
I watched the "Buyer's Guide December 2013" and here is my Amazon cart FR:
http://www.amazon.fr/registry/wishlist/29YE49FJ2G2BM&tag=tonymacx8607-21

There are some small differences between Amazon U.S. and FR items I handpicked correctent are they ?

What do you recommend ?
I want to start a small setup and then upgrade later.

Thank you !
 
Ok I agree ! Concerning scalability, if I change a component, it happens like on PC ?

Yes, you're actually building a PC. The only difference is that you will install Apple's OS X software
instead of Windows or Linux. Do you have experience building a PC before ?
 
I bought the "Kingston technology SSDNow V300 Disque flash SSD interne 2,5'' SATA III 120 Go" for less than you are paying for 60 Go. You'll also lose the only PCIe slot if you use the TP Link card. I think there is a card which replaces the on board WiFi instead.

Depending on what you intend to use the Hackintosh for you might budget for a quiet case fan and a CPU cooler? You are certain to need a hard drive for storage too.

Good luck
