My Proposed Build (Snow Leopard compatible)

[Pavle]

Im looking to build my first hackintosh which i will be using for my home studio. I have no current access to a mac, so will need to install snow leopard first.
This is what im looking at:
Intel Core i7 2600K
Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H or Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3P
16GB (4x4GB) Corsair DDR3 Vengeance 1600mhz
650W Corsair Enthusiast Series 650TXV2UK
Sony AD-5280S
120 OCZ Agility 3 SSD

First of all, would these components be ok to install snow leopard and then upgrade to lion/mountain lion as needed? And secondly, could someone recommend a really cheap hassle free graphics card to go with the build?

Thanks

Look at customac, there are many GPU proposed, they all work OOB. You'll obviously find one which match your needs.

EDIT : I even provide you the link !

Thanks Nikki51, ive been looking through the recent customac guide but the cards seemed overkill for what i needed. Think i might go with the evga 210 as listed in the sandy bridge guide.

Go with the Z68 motherboard if you need to install Snow Leopard.
