Installing 10.9 on an older motherboard

Hi, I'm trying to install Mavericks straight up with no previous mac install.

I've currently tried using Niresh, it installs perfectly fine but I cannot get it to load first time, a kernel panic always occurs.

 

My setup is:

 

i5 2500k @ 3.3

GSKILL 8GB RAM

ASUS MAXIMUS IV GENE-Z GEN3

2 x 1TB HDD in RAID 0 (win 7)

1 x 3TB HDD (750gb partition for osx)

 

If I try booting with -x, i get a can't find mach_kernel error, also most other times if I don't boot with -x, I get an image error of sorts.

 

Any help would be gratefully recieved, I know it is older hardware than most people are used to and I would gladly accept alternatives to installing with Niresh if they work :)

Hello

How would I use a retail disc? I don't have a cd drive in my system :/ Thank you for helping :)

 

Did you see a pm that i give to you?

 

In the pm has a usb image ready to install OSX... read more carefully what the others give to you my friend...

 

Anyway, choose the way that you guess best :)

Thanks for all the help so far. I have installed using the image file provided and it worked first time! However, I needed to install a kext for internet.

 

At this time, I do not know how to install a boot loader to my new OS X HD, would someone please help with that? 

 

Also, there is no audio. My chip is ALC889, any help would be gratefully received :)
