Hey!

I'm quite new to hackintosh. My motherboard is MSI GD65 P67A. And i'm wondering if i should use UEFI or Legacy Bios mode.
I have a bios that support mouse and the bios is very graphical. Msi calls it:
Click BIOS
Universal Extensible Firmware Interface
Which stands for UEFI.




But in windows it says legacy boot mode and the MB is pretty old from 2011 I believe.

So how should I setup the bootable USB drive according to UEFI or LEGACY?

And if choose UEFI will I be able to boot into windows from the bootloader screen?
I've used unibeast because of the simplicity, but is Clover more optimal for my specs?

Is my specs even compatibile for hackintosh?



Specs:
EVGA GTX 780ti
Intel Core I5 2400 sandybridge (intel 2000) dont use internal graphics shouldn't be a issue.
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8GB 1600MHZ
MSI GD65 P67A 1155
 
As a double check, click Start, Run, type in msinfo32.exe and hit enter. Look at the drop down info screen. If BIOS mode says Legacy, then you are set up for Legacy booting and should continue in this mode unless you want to download a BIOS update to allow UEFI booting if you do not already have one that allows it and re-install Windows UEFI.

Your specs are highly compatible.
