Basically i need mac for Xcode and Adobe softwares.. i am using mac os since leopard (on PC obviously).. It was a P4 machine... Recently i planned to buy a new PC, a good one and a compatible one with Mac.. So i refered to tonymacx86's Buyer's guide http://www.tonymacx86.com/344-building-customac-buyer-s-guide-april-2013.html

this one is a budget pc.. and i don't overclock so i chose this motherboard... I chose i5 3330 coz i could get this one in my budget and this the minimum requirement for gtx 650 ti to avoid bottleneck... And 8 GB Ram, of course, for Xcode.. although 16 GB could have been better for it..

For Installation i refered to tonymacx86's guide here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/61-unibeast-install-os-x-mountain-lion-any-supported-intel-based-pc.html

While booting into installer usb drive, I used boot flags -v -x npci=0x3000 (coz i have kepler series nVIdia card) GraphicsEnabler=No( i don't need intel graphics now) , to avoid any kind of kernel issues...
after installation the boot flag used -v -x (unless in safe mode OS X didn't start)

basic hw such as processor, graphics card detected(though as NVIDIA D14P2-30)... Then i used MultiBeast to install other required drivers... below the Multibeast config files are attached...

My graphics card only has 2 DVI ports and 1 HDMI... so i don't know about the problems with VGA... I didn't test sleep. Other things seem to work well..


at first thanks to Tonymacx86 forum for there awesome guides..

But I really miss NTFS-3G. Mac didn't let me install it, coz of untrusted software source...

Not sure if this is what you're referring too but you seem to have the option that only allows for applications to be installed either through the app store or by identified developers to fix this follow the instructions below.

1. Click on the apple logo top left hand corner in apple menu bar
2. Select System Preferences
3. Security and Privacy
4. Click the lock and type in your password
5. Finally under the section Allow applications download from, click and select Anywhere option
