I picked up the H77N-WIFI and i3-3225
1. Installation setup is UniBeast.
2. Post installation is MultiBeast.
As with all Gigabyte 7-series motherboards, the GA-H77N-WIFI and GA-Z77N-WIFI work great without DSDT, however if you want HDMI audio through HD 4000 integrated graphics, DSDT edits are necessary.
Onboard HDMI Guide
1. Download the appropriate DSDT from the DSDT Database
2. Here are With DSDT MultiBeast settings for both the Z77N and H77N.
You should get the same audio options as shown here:
Inside MultiBeast: Audio and HDMI Audio
Optional DSDTs Now Available for CustoMac Mini 2012 HDMI Audio
NOTE: If you previously used MultiBeast, start fresh by deleting any HDAEnabler.kext from /System/Library/Extensions, and your current /Extra folder. Then run the appropriate selections from MultiBeast again.
Optionally, you may run DSDT-Free. Here are DSDT-Free MultiBeast settings for both the Z77N and H77N.

Mini-PCIe Card alternatives:
The H77N and Z77N include a mini-PCIe card slot with an Intel mini-PCIe card capable of both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Please note that only the bluetooth features of this card are available under OS X. There are alternate cards you can stick in your mini-ITX board for full native Airport. Check out these links for details:
