Will this work and if so will it be hard?

[sirretv]

Hey guys i'm very new to the hackintosh community! I have done some research and have now found some components that i think will run flawlessly on my build? All I need is you guys to comment and tell me if i did any thing wrong because of course i'm a noob at this and don't know what i'm really talking about


Anyways hera are my specs!
Gigabyte GeForce GTX670 OC 2GB - Graphics
Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP5 TH - MotherBoard

Intel Core i7-3770 - Processor

Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM ST1000DM003 - Hard Drive
​

Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H60 v2 - Cooler
Corsair Builder Series CX 750 W - Power Supply
TP-Link TL-WDN4800 - Wifi
2 * Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600Mhz - RAM




So What do you think? is it ok? If so will a noob like me be able to build this thing up?

Your power supply is a bit over kill, and that processor is a waste without an SSD.

I can't speak to the quality of your hardware choices, but I can say that if it is on the buyer's guide, it will work, and should work pretty easily.

I think you should have an SSD as your boot drive for OSX and other apps and then use that Seagate for other storage.

If you use the seagate as your boot drive then you will encounter the 4K boot ) problem, the work around is here : http://www.tonymacx86.com/25-boot0-error-official-guide.html

A 600 Watt modular PSU would make better sense - it will also make for a tidier build and with less excess cabling will aid general airflow around the case.

As a noob you should have little problem assembling the items and getting the system up and running. There are plenty of good people here who will give help to those that require it.

This should work out of the box, otherwise maybe you can download the drivers on NVidia's website, and you're all set.

Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP5 TH - MotherBoard

I think this is on the Buyer's Guide right? If it is then it'll be 100% compatible.

Intel Core i7-3770 - Processor

Works Flawlessly.

Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM ST1000DM003 - Hard Drive

The hard drive works obviously, but as a general advice, don't use Hard Drives as boot drives, they are slow, buy an SSD, I have tested the Samsung 840 Series 120GB SSD and it boots a lot faster than my hard drive, I have cloned my system on an HDD and the difference is like:
SSD boot time: 10 Seconds
HDD boot time: 1 minute or more.
YMMV, but it still is a general rule that SSDs are best for System drives.

Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H60 v2 - Cooler
Corsair Builder Series CX 750 W - Power Supply

These don't have anything to do with Mac OS X, so no compatibility issues here, however as Adrian B said, a 600w Modular PSU is much cleaner and less of an overkill.

TP-Link TL-WDN4800 - Wifi

Works natively.

2 * Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600Mhz - RAM

Don't forget to delete the AppleTyMCE driver though!
/System/Library/Extensions/AppleTyMCEDriver.kext

So What do you think? is it ok? If so will a noob like me be able to build this thing up?

Sure! PC building is easy! If you don't know how to do it, Youtube videos help a lot!

Good luck with your build.

Edit: I didn't see that this post was from April, sorry.
Hope I helped anyways
