Building a new budget Hackintosh for around $500 for Motherboard, Power Supply, RAM, and Processor. Don't want to get a video card just yet for budget reasons if I can get the HD4000 to work. This machine is only going to be used for some light photoshop work and watching youtube.

Here's what I've got so far:

Intel Core i5 3570K 3.4GHz LGA 1155 Processor $189.99
Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H LGA 1155 Z77 $84.99
Corsair Vengeance Series 16GB DDR3-1600 $99.99
OCZ Technology ZT Series 750 Watt Modular ATX Power Supply $79.87 after Rebate

Grand Total $514.01 after Tax.

I already have an external UBS Creative Sound Card if there is any audio issues.

Should I have any issue installing Mountain Lion and fully utilizing the HD4000 Graphics, All Ram, and full processor capability?

All help greatly appreciated.

Everything looks good, though you might want to have a hard drive :p Seriously though, you shouldn't have any trouble with the HD4000 graphics in this setup.
 
SSD is great for a hack boot drive - you will find tons of members using them here.
 
I don't believe the motherboard will work. it is using the Via chipset. You want something with a realtek chip

Edit: My bad didnt see that you had USB sound.
