Need advice on a x79 Hackintosh build

[jmac7987]

Hello all,

I am looking for any expert advice regarding my plan for a x79 socket 2011 build. I am planning my build based upon the Asus x79 motherboard (p9 x79 Pro or Sabertooth (not sure which is better) your input is welcome). This will be a first time build for me and will be a challenge. My main concern is the installation, I have read other posts mention certain system functions not working correctly or may not work at all (are these still problems or am I reading old posts?). Ideally I would like a solid build with quality parts, that can run Mavericks and I am not planning to overclock. In order to help me along I am hoping you guys can tell me the most up to date information regarding these issues before I buy my parts (I don't want to get in over my head). Since I am new to the Hackintosh world I have decided to mirror a complete finished and successful/installation if they are out there. I found that this video by Bob Roche (http://rochetechnology.com) has been very helpful on the build aspects (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_7BVYZtucg) but I am still unclear on the installation. Finally, is there anybody who is running the Asus x79 without issue?

There are several Asus X79 based builds. Deluxe and Sabertooth both seem to work, but most popular is the RIVE + 3930K. Just put the board model in the search box and hit enter.
