I am currently throwing items into my shopping cart for my first hackintosh build. I was wondering if you guys could give me any advice regarding it and whether any changes should be made.

Antec Three Hundred Mini Tower Gaming Case 300 ATX 3X5.25 6X3.5INT No PS Front USB & Audio - $53.99

Intel Core i7 860 Quad Core Processor Lynnfield LGA1156 2.8GHZ Hyperthreading 8MB Cache Retail Box - $304.99

OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W ATX 20/24PIN SLI Ready Modular Cables 135mm Fan 80PLUS Power Supply - $84.99

Western Digital Caviar Black 640GB 7200RPM 32MB Dual Proc 3.5IN SATA Hard Drive OEM 5YR Mfg Warranty - $62.93

G.SKILL F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL Ripjaws PC3-12800 4GB 2X2GB DDR3-1600 CL9-9-9-24 Core I5 1.5V Memory Kit - $94.99

Gigabyte P55A-UD4P ATX LGA1156 P55 DDR3 2PCI-E RAID GBLAN CrossFireX SLI USB3.0 SATA3 *IR-$9* - $186.99

Liteon IHAS124 24X DVD Writer SATA Black OEM - $27.70

Total = $816.58

I haven't chosen a graphics card yet, I dont need this build anytime soon so its not an issure when I buy all of these parts. I was kind of hoping that support for the Radeon 5850 would come out soon, thats mainly why I havent chosen one yet. I guess if Apple doesnt pull through with the Radeon's though I would go with the GTX 285. The graphics card is around $300 bringing the total just over $1000. Let me know what you guys think and if I should make any changes or if anything isn't supported.
Thanks,
MonChoon
 
Looks good. I think your psu may be overkill though. As for video I ended up with the Nvidia 9500GT for my build. I had problems getting the 9400 GT working, but others have been successful. My full system specs are in my signature. I am very happy with this setup now that I worked through the sound hiccups.
