Hi all. First post here! I'm strongly considering building a hackintosh and have quickly read over the installation process and parts compatibility to get a general sense of how to get one up and running. But before I actually purchase said parts, I was wondering if I could get some feedback on my custom build with regards to installing OS X Mavericks 10.9. So heres the run down...
Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3
Gigabyte Radeon R7 240 2GB DDR3
Intel Core-i5 3570K (Ivy Bridge)
Kingston HyperX Genesis 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz
Cooler Master i600 600W power supply
TP-Link TL-WDN 4800
Seagate 500GB 2.5" HDD
havent thought of a case yet.
If you're questioning some of my parts, I am building this with spares and gifts (motherboard and video card). My research so far has told me the motherboard, HDD, CPU and network adaptor will definitely work on Mavericks. My biggest concern is with regards to the video card. I haven't found much information regarding the R7 and hackintosh-ing. So does anyone have a general idea if this build will work? Should i opt for some other parts? Should i continue this build without the video card? Please keep in mind I want to keep this build around $350-400 Should i instead install Mountain Lion? Thanks guys and Merry Christmas!!
