Hi all,
I am new to this forum and the Hackintosh scene. I am looking to build my first Hackintosh system to run OS X Lion 10.7.2 and will be primarily used for photo editing (Lightroom and Photoshop CS5). I also need some suggestions about bluetooth adapters and Firewire cards.
Here is what I am thinking.
Case: NZXT Phantom Black
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6811146068
Motherboard: Asus P8P67 Pro (Rev. 3.1) or Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3
**Which one should I go with?**
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813131771
or
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813128498
Processor: Intel Core i7-2600K
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6819115070
Memory: Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 16GB DDR3
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6820233197
Graphics: Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD6870 1GB
http://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-Radeon-D ... cx86com-20
Optical: Sony Optiarc AD-7280S-0B
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6827118067
Cooler: Noctua NH-D14
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6835608018
Power Supply: Corsair Professional Series Gold AX850
**Is this overkill? Should I go with the AX650 instead?**

Storage: OCZ Vertex 3 120GB

All feedback and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
