I built this system some time ago and decided to rebuild and document the install for Mavericks 10.9
Previous Build : http://www.tonymacx86.com/user-builds/109948-success-p-lgrims-8ball-build-z77-ds3h-rev-1-0-f9-i5-2500k-hd6850-16gb-ml-10-8-5-a.html
This is an extremely straightforward build and it should be possible for even someone with no prior knowledge of Hackintoshes to complete with relative ease. There are no changes to the BIOS (after the initial one), no cable or graphics card swaps, no DSDT and no boot flags - Probably one of the easiest Hackintosh builds you will ever see.
It should be noted that there are two versions of this system board at the time of writing - This document relates to the Revision 1.0 version only.
