My 1st HackMac advice needed

[iampaulb]

Hi Guys

Can someone tell me if this build will be good enough and work for a hackintosh system?

parts:

CPU / Mother Board / RAM / OS Drive / Case / PSU

I have 4 WD 1tb drives already which ill use as storage space. Is there anything else i need?

Also could you advise what the difference between the H77N motherboard and this one?

Its use will basically be like a NAS / Homeserver - Ill be hoping to download M.lion server to play around with also.
Hoping this could be the home hub of music, movies and photos etc...

Can't comment on compatibility as I dont know the answer. But wanted to mention all those parts can be had for less from Amazon. I just checked, you'd save quite a bit of cash. Also, I understand its for HTPC but if it was me i'd see how noisy the machine is with the stock cooler first before spending that much on a Noctua.
