CPU : AMD Phenom II X1090T (6 Cores)
RAM : 16GB DDR 3
MOBO: Gigabyte 990FX
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon 5870
HDD : 750Gb or greater SATA 2

Appreciate any response.

No! Read the rules.

AMD CPUs and NVIDIA, ATI, VIA or SIS desktop chipsets are not supported. The methods and software on this site will not work. Also, Atom CPUs are no longer supported as of 10.6.2.

Hello,

CPU: AMD will not work, you'll need an Intel Processor!
RAM: will work
MOBO: Gigabyte is a nice brand but you'll need an board for an Intel Processor
HDD: Any HDD/SSD will work, when you have an HDD which is bigger than 1TB you will need partitions!

Oh,
that is sad. Because I often read and saw Articles that list AMD Plattforms running OS X. Some say stable others say mostly stable.
Ok thanks for answering anyway.

AMD processors are not compatible with the installation methods here. If you really want to try more, you may have more luck going to other sites such as InsanelyMac.
 
You can probably run OSX, even Mountain Lion, at least in 32bit. Sadly, this forum is only about Intel CPUs. I would suggest to visit InfiniteMac for the latest developments on AMD kernel and once you have a bootable system maybe come back here for advice on other osx86 subjects.
