Hey guys, I'll start off by saying I appreciate any, and all help. I am new to building computers, and I know that starting with a hackintosh can be complicated. I am looking to build a version of the Customac Pro, as outlined in the February guide. I plan on having 2 SSD's, one to run windows and to game on (WOW); and one to load OSX Mountain Lion for everyday use. My hope is that this build will excel in both areas and I wont have to upgrade for some time. Here is what I have planned.
Case:
Corsair Carbide Series 500R White Steel structure with molded ABS plastic accent pieces ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Motherboard:
GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD5H LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Video Card:
EVGA 02G-P4-2670-KR GeForce GTX 670 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
Power Supply:
CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX650M 650W ATX12V v2.31 / EPS12V v2.92 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Semi Modular High Performance ...
Processor:
Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000 BX80637I73770K
Storage:
SanDisk Extreme SDSSDX-120G-G25 2.5" 120GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (x2)
RAM:
CORSAIR Vengeance LP 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CML16GX3M2A1600C10
Wireless:
TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 Dual Band Wireless N900 PCI Express Adapter, 2.4GHz 450Mbps/5GHz 450Mbps, IEEE 802.1a/b/g/n, WEP/WPA/WPA2
Drive:

So long story short, that is exactly what my cart looks like.This should put the build at about $1500. Im hoping for few problems with the build as far as compatibility, and superior performance all the way around. Is there anything else I need? I was wondering if I need and further cooling systems specifically. I have done some research but am certainly no expert on any of this. So please dumb down any advice as much as necessary. Thanks in advance for any help.
