xTCx Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Hi, I installed OSX on my previous, old PC and loved it. Since then, I bought a new PC and would like to return to the mac experience. Since I'm not an expert in this field, I would like to ask whether my build is good enough to serve as an hackintosh, and how well at that: Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-3570K Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77-HD4 Graphics Card: SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB OC GDDR5 (AMD) RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 Mhz CL9 (If i remember correctly... it is 2x4GB though for sure) I know AMD GPUs are not supported 100%, but I'd also like to know how it's going to affect me. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 It's a good hardware, works great. The GPU 7950 works in OS X. Read more here: [Guide] AIO Guides For Hackintosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have looked in the link you attached. I've read before that I first have to edit some BIOS options and also change the primary GPU to the integrated one. None of this is included in the guide you linked me to. What is right then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 but if you will use off-board graphs, why switch to integrated? read here about Tonymac: VERY IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ! (ABOUT TONYMACX86 AND IATKOS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ABOUT TONYMACX86 AND IATKOS) I think it was only for the installation process or something... well if you haven't heard of it than it is either wrong or outdated. As for tonymac, I'm sorry, didn't know it was a `commercial spin-off`. So basically, I shouldn't have to edit any settings in the bios? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
