I'm looking to build a dual core or quad core box:
4GB memory
mATX (would go atx if I had to)
nVidia 8600 GTS or 8800GT
ACHI Sata drives
motherboard with good OC abilities (only for the pc side)

Nothing real special and I hope to do it under $700 or so. I'm typically an AMD guy but am moving to intel for the osx86 abilities.

I can do my own research on the processors case, ps etc but I'm sure that others already have a good understanding of motherboards that allow me to run 10.5.2 hackintosh with the fewest amount of modifications.

Please let me know and thanks for your efforts!

This looks like the kind of specs that I am thinking of doing. But I am a total newb when it comes to building a PC (Been a Mac boy for over 10 years) so I wouldn't mind keeping tabs on how you do and your complete hardware choices. I think I will be ok at researching and selecting all the components. The part that has me worried is all the patching.
