Want to build new Hackintosh - buying advice

[webloop]

Hi,
This is my first post here at Tonymacx86.
I want to build a new Hackitosh for my professional work as I am a designer and developer. I did a reasonable research and came the conclusion about the performance requirements and want to post it here as you people are more experienced in this regard.

Please look at the component list here I am posting and let me know these are compatible together or not as I am little bit confused.

Also I don't want to buy an extra cooling solution for this as I am low on budget. is it ok for this build or I do have to buy one efficient cooling solution?

Please guide me in the right direction....

Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-Z97M-D3H LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI Sata 6Gb/S USB 3.0 Micro Atx
Processor - Intel 3.2 GHz LGA 1150 i5-4460 (BX80646I54460)
PSU - Corsair VS550 550 Watt PSU
RAM - Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4 GB (1 x 4 GB) PC DRAM (CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9)
SSD - Samsung 840 EVO 120 GB Desktop Internal Hard Drive (MZ-7TE120BW)
Cabinet - Bitfenix Prodigy M White Cabinet Case


Thank in advance...

There's no need to buy an expensive liquid or tower air cooler for your build.
Just use the stock Intel cooler and a couple of good case fans. One in front
and one in the back with airflow moving from front to back. It's a very well
designed case without overheating issues.

The two main reasons to upgrade to an aftermarket cooler are:

1) if you need a silent pc build (Noctua coolers are the best for this)

2) you'll be overclocking and/or gaming with the cpu.

It doesn't look like you'll be doing any overclocking with this build.

If you want a quiet, relatively inexpensive upgrade to the stock Intel cooler
try out this one from Silverstone. I bought it 3 years ago and it's still working
great and is nearly completely inaudible a few feet from my desk.

Silverstone NT07 it installs exactly the same way as the Intel cooler. You just need
to get your own thermal paste to apply to the IHS before installing. Just make sure
to not buy the 775 version as it won't fit. Must be the NT07-1156. It fits the 1150
cpu socket perfectly. It's only 37mm tall so it fits in even the smallest itx cases.

Thank you trs96 for your quick reply.
I will look at the option you have provided for the cooling fan.
Yes I don't want to overclock the cpu.

Thanks again..
