vinnilaPUDDIN Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I am getting parts to build a hackintosh. I want to run snow leopard, and I would like to know if this hardware will work for this hackintosh build, or if I will need new parts. The board I am getting is a Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H, a Intel core I5-2500k Quad core 3.3 GHz Processor with 6MB of cache. I also plan on getting a LG dvd burner and buying a snow leopard 10.6.3 retail installer disk. I have the links to the parts I'm getting on amazon. I will post them, but if I'm not suppose to post the links, I apologize in advance for that. Thanks for any help in advance too. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004EBUXHQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AG4VBLJCD503E (doing the used one because that is what my parents can afford for me(first one in the used category)) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009XIJ0GK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A10GIQVUTYZMGS ( hard drive that I can afford for the install (will buy a ssd drive later on)) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009F1DYF8/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008RZMSYG/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ABF5QDLOP8WY2 P.S. I am reusing a ATX computer case that I have for when my dad's mobo when to mobo heaven. I am also reusing a Dynex 520 watt psu(http://www.amazon.com/Dynex-520-Watt-Power-Supply/dp/B0067SJC80/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1377202035&sr=8-1&keywords=Dynex+520+watt+psu). Also I would like to know if I can use the built in graphics on the mobo so i don't have to buy the video card because I can't afford one right now. Thanks for taking your time to read all of this (I know it's a lot) and any help will be appreciated in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3.14r2 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 SL would be too old for the motherboard. You'd need newer OS X versions for this components IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnilaPUDDIN Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Yes I understand that. But my problem is that as it stands right now, I don't have access to another mac with snow leopard to create a [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] installer. So then my question is, what can I do? I don't really want to use a distro, because as for one, I'm sure these parts can run close to vanilla, and two, I don't want to pirate.
