Hello guys!! I am very happy to announce my very first PC/hackintosh build!! I would actually say it
is more like a budget than a mid range build but suits my needs, since i don't much HD video editing
at the moment and i am not much of a gamer so i use integrated graphics.

I already owned an apple magic mouse and a wireless keyboard using with my old computer and i have to say the experience is like having a "real" mac. Coming from a core2 duo i am very excited having this as my main machine.

The installation was really easy without any problems as everything is fully compatible with OS X. Downloaded Mavericks from the app store, used the new UniBeast and boom!! It took like20 minutes to complete and the post installation was even easier with MultiBeast thanks to tonymacx86:clap:!! Even the WiFi card worked nearly out of the box by just installing 1 kext it is now acting as airport card!!

By the way i am planning to buy a Graphics card probably the EVGA GTX 650 Ti boost since the price
dropped with the new card releases. (Also included MultiBeast settings).

Feel free to comment!!:)

hello Giannis96 I would like to ask you some information about the Hackintosh you've assembled! I would like to build one too with your own characteristics but do not understand if the hd graphics 4600 has an output "full hd" because I have a full hd monitor and would like to use the full resolution! you know give me information about it? which kexts you have installed? thanks in advance for the info! P.S. excuse my English but I'm Italian!
