Is this build hackintosh compatible?

Hello guys! I've ordered new PC parts and they should arrive in 2 or 3 days and I want to check if they're hackintosh-compatible. Here's the list :

 

●CPU: Intel Xeon 1231V3

●CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Seidon 120V

●GPU: Sapphire HD 5450 (Temporary)

●Motherboard: Asrock H97 Pro4

●Ram: HYPER Fury 8GB

●PSU: Evga 600b

●Case: NZXT H440

 

Since the CPU doesn't have the iGPU , I'll be using an HD 5450 from an old build until I can afford a R9 390X or a GTX 980.

The GTX 980 is a Tesla card. The native OS X support for that chip is limited. To get full use of it you will need to install Nvidia's proprietary drivers. Kepler-based cards are cheaper and generally work without tweaking.

 

Be aware that not all Nvidia video cards are alike, and all will work in a hackintosh. Before you buy post a consult the forum with the exact make, model, and specs of the video card. Someone here may have experience with it and can tell you whether it's compatible or not.

 

I use an Ivy Bridge Xeon CPU with no problems.
