DDR3 8GB (2x4GB) Corsair
Sapphire HD 7850, 2GB OC Edition
HDD WD 500GB, 5000AAKX, SATA 3, Buffer 16MB, 7.200 rpm , 8,9 ms

It isn't going to be a 30 minute job, but it can be done. You will need plenty of patience and I suggest taking you time to understand the processes involved. Here is a search link using your motherboard:

Thank you very much. Your info helped me :)
I managed to successfully install Mavericks 10.9.1 and everything is working fine (at least I think so). I will soon post a tutorial on how to do it with my specs cause I had to look very hard to find solutions for some problems. I spent last 3 days to work this out but I think it is not that much considering the fact hackintosh is very new to me.

Well done to completing your ASRock hack. Your upcoming guide will indeed help others understand and steer through the many differing options to installing OS X on PC hardware that are required for different hardware.
Congratulations on a job well done.:headbang:
