Dualbooting Windows 8.1 and OSX on an AMD machine.

[SurrealDelight]

 

I want to dual boot Windows 8.1 and OSX, but I have an AMD cpu and don't know where to begin with that. Here are my specs -

 

CPU: AMD FX-6350 3.9GHz 6-Core Processor  ($139.97 @ OutletPC) 

Motherboard: MSI 970A-G43 ATX AM3+ Motherboard  ($59.99 @ Newegg) 

Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1333 Memory  ($79.99 @ Newegg) 

Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  ($52.92 @ Amazon) 

Video Card: Zotac GeForce GTX 760 2GB Video Card  ($239.99 @ Mwave) 

Case: Zalman Z9 Plus ATX Mid Tower Case  ($61.79 @ Amazon) 

Power Supply: Corsair CX 500W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply  ($34.99 @ Newegg) 

Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer  ($19.99 @ Mwave) 

 

I've seen some people with succesful hackintosh builds with AMD, so I was wondering if it was possible for me. I'm planning to reformat my computer and partitioning my hardrive 750gb for Windows 8 and 250gb for the hackintosh.

I have an amd fx-4100 and a HD7770 1 Gb graphics card and Mavericks installed perfectly without the need for any kexts. sound, ethernet, and graphics all worked out the box so yours should definitely work. Although I did have to replace the kernel using mac drive before booting.
