Will this specs be ok for OS X 10.8.3 and Adobe Creative Suite CS 5?

[mikiyamato]

Hi you guys;
I am working as an manga editor for some french studio, and I work on very old MacBook 13'.
Because the business is expanding I need a faster computer,but I don't have money to buy iMac or MacBookPro, so I decided to go with some hackintosh desktop computer. It would be of a great help if some of you could tell me would this be ok for OS X 10.8.3 and if this specs could work. Thanx in advance

processor: intel i5 3470, or i5 3450, or in the worst case, an i5 3330

motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H (rev. 1.1) or Gigabyte GA-Z77-HD4

graphic card: Asus GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1GB GDDR5 GTX650TI-1GD5 or
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1GB GDDR5 GV-N65TOC-1GI or maybe but most likely not;
Gigabyte Radeon HD 7790 1GB GDDR5 GV-R779OC-1GD

HDD: Kingston 120GB SSD SATA600 HyperX 3K SH103S3/120G and
Seagate 1TB 64MB 7k SATA300 ST1000DM003 Barracuda

Memory: Kingston 16GB (2x8GB) 1600MHz DDR3 HyperX KHX1600C10B1RK2/16

Case: Fractal Design Define R4 or
Thermaltake Level 10 GTS VO30001N2N or
Thermaltake Commander MS-II

I have power supply Chieftec 550 W (i donno exact model number but I could look) and LG monitor LG IPS237L-BN.

P.S: Could I make a dual boot on SSD, so i could have win8 and OS X on the same disk. And I would appreciate if somebody could post a link or two for dualbooting, because I am an old guy who is a noob for this stuff.

Again, thank you in advance for helping

Everything you've mentioned should work great.
Have a look around at sale prices for the new GTX 650 Ti BOOST 2GB - you may just find a deal that puts the price right in line with the standard 650 1GB model.
Same thing goes for the Intel CPU - You may only have to pay an extra $10-$30 for an i5 3570 (because it's popular)

Your current CPU and Monitor will be fine. Case will be a personal preference. (I'm using a Corsair 200R)

Best and easiest practice for dual boot is running two separate drives (one for OS X and one for Windows) if you can possibly afford it.

Thanx for such a quick reply. I am from Serbia, and a difference between price of i5 3570 and i5 3470 is 40-70 euros (around 50 or 80 bucks) Third world country transitioning to the second world country, so everything is a bit more expensive here, what to say
I just wanted to see if I need processor with intel HD 4000 or I could use any intel processor because I am buying discreet graphic card, and if everything is compatible.

Check the motherboard for the Aethos Network Chip make sure that it is not an 8161 - if you have this chip then you will have problems w the onboard nic working the better chip is the 8151 which should be on the V1.0 of the either motherboard but not on the V1.1 or V1.01

If you do have the 8161 you may need another network card to insert into the PCIe1X slot that is supported (intel Chip) and disable the Onboard NIC in the BIOS.
