hi guys,
having an old i5 3470 lying around and was wondering if there are any disadvantages from building a hackintosh from that CPU in terms of funtions not working or incompatability besides slower speeds? I took some time going through the
Building a CustoMac: Buyer's Guide August 2013 where i was taking a closer look at those gigabyte mini itx mainboards such as H77N/Z77N. Also i would like to know if the hardware from http://www.osxwifi.com/ will work on that machine. Fyi i was Not planning on using a seperate graphics cards.

Thanks in advance,
Best,
Tom
 
Unfortunately that I5 has only HD2500 graphics that is not supported in OS X / macOS. You would need a discrete gfx card to go with that CPU.
