Hi everybody,
I'm aspiring to make a Hackintosh for the first time, and most of the equipment was hand picked for me by a friend, who no longer has the need to make his own hackintosh which is why I'm trying my hand at it.
At first, I purchased a 6870 but I was unsatisfied with the measly 1gb it offered. I wanted to go the Radeon route instead of Nvidia, so when I heard that the 7xxx series drivers were in the new beta, I immediately returned that 6870 and exchanged it for a 7850. Was this premature?
I don't mind waiting a bit for the drivers to be released, but I really want to be sure they'll be released at some point with mountain lion 10.8.3.
My full set up is as follows:
Gigabyte z77x-ud5h
intel i5-3570k
intel ssd 180gb
ripjaws 16gb ddr3 ram
xfx radeon hd 7850 2gb graphics card
950 watt rosewill power supply
I'll hang out with a Windows 7 installation for as long as it takes for the drivers and instructions for a 7850 install, because I don't know enough about the process to try it blind. I have a very basic understanding of computers and have only built my own pc setup once, so any help and advice would be much appreciated.
