Help/Advice please! Intel Xeon e3-1230v3 + GTX 770 / AMD r9 280+Mainboard recommendations

Hey Guys! I'm about to build a new PC and I thought I could run os x on it.

That's the hardware I'd like to use:
  • Intel Xeon e3 1230v3
  • Radeon r9 280x / GTX 770
  • 1TB HDD & 120GB Samsung evo 840 ssd

I don't know which Mainboard I'm going to use so suggestions are appreciated! But everything should be working and it shouldn't be too expensive.

As written in the buyers guide the GTX 770 isn't compatible with OS X 10.6 so I guess the r9 280x is also not, right? But do I need onboard cpu graphics then in order to install the Snow Leopard retail DVD as a base to download Mavericks? And do I need to buy an I7 ? And which graphics card would you take?

Thanks in advance!

​For those who don't know the xeon e3-1230v3 doesn't have onboard graphics but if it would work without I'd be fine with it because the xeon is almost as good as an i7 it just doesn't have iGPU and Overclocking
