Just wondering if os x yosemite fits the specs.
I am new to this (Hackintosh Stuff).
Please consider me having no knowledge of Hackintosh but kind of good knowledge in PC Stuff.

Please tell me will os x yosemite work on my rig.
If not..then where does my rig lag behind.
Thnx in advance....!!!!!
 
You have a Gigabyte GA-H61M-DS2 motherboard and an Intel i7-2600 processor with HD3000 graphics.

The motherboard has an unsupported VGA socket so it would be best to add a compatible GPU. Gigabyte have made 8 different Revisions of this motherboard so I suggest that you check which version that you have. The manual will explain where you can find this information:

When you find the revision number then check your BIOS version and then see if there is any BIOS updates that your version should have:

It is vital that you do not apply the wrong BIOS update. If you have one of the boards with a UEFI type BIOS then you will have less work to do as you will not require a DSDT.

Some more reading on some of the basic information that can be invaluable when running OS X on PC hardware:

If you have access to a Mac or PC Mac that will allow you access to the App Store then you can follow the guide to install Yosemite.

If you are not able to get to the App Store then purchase Snow Leopard Retail and this will allow you with iBoot (see downloads section) to install Snow Leopard and get to the App Store on your own hardware to get Yosemite. The process is covered in the Simplest Mac Installation guide which is linked to here:

Please note if you need to use Snow Leopard - then make sure that the GPU you have is supported as Snow Leopard is several years old now and does not have support for the latest GPU cards.
