Hi!
I have been reading these forums for quite a while and I was waiting for the right timing to buy my first hackingtosh hardware. As from what I have read here ==> http://www.tonymacx86.com/mountain-lion-desktop-guides/ , the Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 motherboard and i7-2660k cpu works great with the hd3000 without a dsdt using only mostly unibeast.
A topic more precise here ==> http://www.tonymacx86.com/mountain-...-uefi-bios-all-working-dsdt-not-required.html
I am looking for a UEFI OOB solution that works with Unibeast and no dsdt. At first, I was looking at the Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H motherboard because of the sound chip wich had a good compatibility in Lion than the Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H.
Other recommended motherboards

But it seams that alot of people are having problems with these new motherboards. On the other hand, people having great success using the Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 mobo.
I was wondering if I could get compatibility issues if I change the Sandy Bridge CPU for a Ivy Bridge CPU? I repeat that I am looking for a UEFI OOB solution that works with Unibeast and no dsdt.
My plan is to try with the integrated HD4000 video first. And if I do get problems, I am planning to use an old compatible video card wich works OBB for now.
So what do you guys think of my built?

Here is what I am planning to buy :
CPU
Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000 BX80637I73770K
MOBO (I cant find weather it is gonna be the rev.1.3 ot the rev.1.0. My guess is that it's gonna be the one without PCIe3.0 rev1.0)
GIGABYTE GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
RAM (Compatible memory modules checked on corsair web site. Low profile for a bigger heatsink if needed.)
CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CML16GX3M4A1600C9B
PSU (Compatible with the newest CPU. I prefer Enermax. Alot of people are reporting to be having problems with corsair PSU when you read the reviews on newegg.)
ENERMAX NAXN 82+ ENM750AWT 750W ATX12V v2.3 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
NIC (An almost obb nic. Only have to add the infos in the chameleon.plist so that it is detected.
Intel EXPI9301CTBLK Network Adapter 10/ 100/ 1000Mbps PCI-Express 1 x RJ45

I already own :
LG (blueray writer; from what I have read is compatible. Time will tell.)
BH12LS38
SSD (for macosx only)
OCZ 2.5'' 60GB SSD SATA II VERTEX 2 SERIES
HDD (For Windows, Linux and storage. I know there have been compatibility problems with HDD larger than 1TB. I might get a smaller one from my computers.)
WD 2.0TB SATA 64MB Cache WD20EARX WD CAviar Green
An medium tower ATX case, an oob Geforce videocard(just in case), a Keyboard, a mouse and a HDTV LCD.
