I'm new to the hackintosh community and hackintoshing itself. I have built many computers and have time to tinker around with my computers. I've done a lot of reading on hackintoshing (so I'm not a total noob -_-) and found that the gigabyte ga-z77-ds3h is one of the best mobos for a hackintosh. My main use for this computer will be AUDIO RECORDING/EDITING. I'll be tri-booting win8, win7, mt. lion.
Here are the links to the items I'm hoping to get:

OCZ Agility 3 Sata III 60gb SSD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227725
GeIL EVO CORSA Series 16gb Ram http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820144560
8gb Corsiar ram that I bought for my previous rig 10600.
Intel i5 3570k http://www.microcenter.com/product/388577/Core_i5_3570K_34GHz_LGA_1155_Processor
Sony Optiarc x24 DVD Burner http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827118067&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL092012&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL092012-_-EMC-092012-Index-_-CDDVDBurners-_-27118067-L011A
Should I mix the 10600 with the 12800? Will I need this much ram? Or should I get less, but faster ram? Do I need a faster video card than the onboard Intel 3000 HD graphics? (I'm not much of a gamer.) Will the sony disc drive I have selected work with mt lion. If you happen to know, what dsdts will I need, if any...
I admit, I'm no expert. I'd love any help I can get...
