I am new to building computers as well as hackintosh's. I have been researching parts and put together a list for my first build. I am sure similar builds have been done and I was hoping I could get some tips for mine. Links to older posts on builds with the same parts would be greatly appreciated.

 

My Plan is to install SL and run parallels so I can use mac and pc software side by side

 

These are the parts:

Antec Sonata Elite ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

 

ASRock X58 Extreme 3 LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

ok, i would recommend you to dual boot for best performance, or just install OSX SL 10.6.3 as guest on Windows 7 being the Host with Vmware using an image of a virtual machine ready to run Snow Leopard. or if you still want this to be your main OS then Use Empire EFI to load your retail copy of OSX SL, Google it and you will learn faster. Good day!
