Hi, i'm from brazil and i'm going to the USA by the end of october
also, sorry for the bad english :p
it's my first time building a hackintosh so i need some help

as far as i know all the components i choose are compatible, i just want to confirm it
they are the following:

CPU:
Intel i7 2600K - Newegg

CPU Cooler:
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus - Newegg

Graphics Card
Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD 6850 - Newegg

MotherBoard
Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3 - Newegg

RAM
Corsair Vengeance 8GB - Newegg

HDD
Seagate Barracuda 1TB - Newegg

SSD
Plextor PX-M2 Series - Newegg

Power Supply
Corsair Professional Series 650W - Newegg

The case i'm going to buy here, since it's too big to take it on the luggage
I will stay with the speakers, monitor, keyboard, DVD drive and a 750GB HDD from the old computer.

I'll be in the USA for a a week and i will buy everything from newegg, except for the snow leopard installation disk and the magic mouse, which i think i'll buy on a apple store there.

I will be using the SSD for Lion and some heavy programs,
the 1TB HDD will be used for general stuff
and the old 750GB HDD for Windows and Backups

Now i have some questions:

-Are Snow Leopard DVDs still sold on Apple Stores?
-Will all those components work with Lion OOB, or what do i need to make them work?
-I will need a bluetooth adapter sold on newegg, can anyone give me a suggestion?

Sorry for the long post, i just need to know everything i'm going to buy there
also fell free to sugest new components
Thank you so much :D
 
Build list looks fine - make sure you check for a DSDT in the database.

Snow Leopard DVD is till on sale from Apple Retail Store - USA and UK:

Bluetooth - I'd recommed following a guide to using an official apple bluetooth module and putting it on a USB cable for either an internal header or external cable. That way no need to mess around with sleep/wake/compatibilty and it's future proof. It's about 30 mins work once you have the right parts list.
 
Thanks for the reply, but i think i'll get this bluetooth adapter, since it's said to work OOB
Amazon

And i will change the motherboard to the GA-Z68XP-UD3, since the GA-Z68X-UD4-B3 isn't avaliable anymore
