Hi guys

I'm new here and I'm looking into building my first hackintosh as my MacBook pro's logic board is on its way out and I need more power for graphics.

I'm a graphic designer so the rig will see a lot of photoshop and illustrator.

I want to build a custom mini deluxe with a i7 3770k processor, 16 gig of ram and a GeForce 660ti.

But which motherboard is the easiest to do it with? I have read BitterMelon's thread and he says the Gigabyte Z77N wifi is easy and compatible to use...

Buckeyes1995 says the Asrock Z77E itx is a also a easy board...

And somewhere I read that the Zotac Z77 is also easy and apparently wifi works(please verify)....

I'm very confused can someone point me to the right direction? As in list the pros and cons of the boards...

Also if I fit a graphics card where and how do I fit a dell Dw1515 or the atheros 9820? Is there a port left to fit this in that tiny board?
 
Details for my mini-ITX build using a Zotac board are in my sig. Very happy with it.
