Hi there,
I'd like to build a CustoMac with this hardware:

- CPU: intel core i5-2320
- Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H
- Ram: CORSAIR vengence 8GB DDR3 [2x4Gb each]
- SSD: OCZ Agility 3 120Gb

Now I would like to choose a VGA card, since the CPU does have HD2000, which is not compatible with OSX, am I right?

I have also noticed that the mobo does not require any DSDT, and checked here that it should work natively.

I would like an ATI video card, but consider an NVIdia one.

I want to built this rig in order to make it a testing PC, I am planning to do a triple boot with OSX M-L, Windows 7, and Linux Ubuntu, and not interested in video editing nor games.

Thanks for your help and suggesstions

 
You are right. Only HD3/4000 iGPU is supported.

Suggestion: a GT640.
 
Thanks, will take a look on your suggestions and links; will keep you posted on my decision as well :thumbup:
