PowerSpec G221

[Joxmar]

I'm looking to build a hackintosh and while browsing in microcenter budgeting for the parts I came across with the powerSpec 221 which seems the have all the parts I wanted to use in the build. Do any of you guys think this machine will work?

Why don't you compare the cost of buying an Asus or Gigabyte / I5-7500 combo deal and then buy your case, PSU and ram, SSD separately. That way you can get a much better PSU and case and still pay roughly the same price. If you do go with the Power Spec, replace the PSU that comes with it with at least a 500W gold rated Corsair, EVGA or Seasonic. You'll be glad you did.

You can get this Gigabyte board for 40 USD when you buy it with the CPU.

I got the G221 on the low low. Did you end up doing a hackintosh with it?
