Will this work? Asus P9X79 PRO

Here is my list of parts based off MK500 awesome golden build:

ASUS P9X79 PRO - LGA2011 - X79
Intel Core i7-3930K 6-Core Processor 3.2 Ghz 12 MB Cache LGA 2011
Seasonic SS-1050XM ATX 1050 Power Supply
XFX HD-687X-CNFC Radeon HD 6870 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
Patriot G2 Series Division 2 Edition 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model PGD316G1600ELK
JacobsParts® Gigabit Ethernet LAN PCI Network Controller Card 10/100/1000 (for dual ethernet)
Antec P280 Black ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Mountain Lion 10.8

My main concern is getting the proper DSDT and kexts, very new to all this Hackintosh stuff. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
 
Have you purchased these items, yet?
 
yeah, did I jump the gun?

You should have bought a Gigabyte motherboard such as the GA-X79-UD5 instead. You may encounter problems installing and using Mountain Lion with your Asus motherboard.

Do you have access to a real Mac or hacktinosh running Snow Leopard or higher to make a UniBeast USB stick to boot and install Mountain Lion?
