Okay, So I am ready to finally purchase the parts for my first hackintosh. Before I purchase the parts, I really need someone to tell me if the parts will even work for a hackintosh. I am planning to first install Mac OS X Snow Leopard (6.0.0), then do the combined update to 10.6.8, and then do a fresh install of Mac OS X Lion (7.0.0). WILL SOMEONE PLEASE COMMENT AND TELL ME IF ALL THAT IS POSSIBLE WITH THE FOLLOWING PARTS :

1. Intel Core i3-2100 Sandy Bridge 3.1GHz LGA 1155 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor BX80623I32100

2. BIOSTAR H61MH LGA 1155 Intel H61 HDMI Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

3. Pareema 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model MD313C80809L2

4. Palit NEAG84S0HD53-2187F GeForce 8400 GS 512MB 32-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card

5. Seagate Barracuda ST500DM002 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

6. Sony Optiarc CD/DVD Burner Black SATA Model AD-7260S-0B - OEM

7. HEC 6K28BBX585 Black 0.8mm SECC Steel MicroATX Mini Tower Computer Case 585W Power Supply

Thanks! And also, will I need a DSDT for my motherboard, and if I do, where can i download one?

*AND WILL I NEED TO PURCHASE THAT GRAPHICS CARD IF I HAVE THE SANDYBRIDGE PROCESSOR?
 
Most of the build looks fine except for the MOBO, you should stick to the tried and tested Gigabyte, Asus, MSI etc.

The DSDT database is here:
dsdt.php

You can use EasyBeast or one of the DSDT autp patchers but buy buying one of the Motherboards listed in the DSDT database ensures a level of compatibility for a hackintosh.
