Hardware & Snow Leopard: Will this setup be trouble free?

[industro]

Hi all...

 

I apologize in advance for the noobiness of this question, but I wanted to get some additional feedback on my desired hardware "wish-list" for my upcoming Snow Leopard Install. (Moderators - feel free to move this if I've posted in the wrong place).

 

Looks like everything checks out on the OSX86 compatibility checklist list, but I'm looking for some real-wold experience from anyone who has had luck (or lack thereof) with these hardware components and Snow Leopard.

 

Let me know your thoughts... I'm mostly concerned about my motherboard and issues with audio and LAN, and if the GeForce 9800 GTX is plug-n-play or if it'll require additional kexts, strings, or the like. Or, incompatibilities between components since this is my first build.

 

Thanks in advance for your valued input - this is a GREAT FORUM!!!

 

Here's my wish list:

 

 

1. GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD3R LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard
   
2. Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor Model BX80601920
   
3. EVGA 512-P3-N871-AR GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card
   
4. Antec TPQ-850 850W Continuous Power ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active
   
5. Crucial 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory
   
6. LG Blu-ray Burner Model BH08LS20
   
7. CORSAIR CWCH50 Water Cooler
   
8. NZXT Apollo Black SECC Steel Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Oh, I forgot to mention... I'm going to use a SATA 500 GB HDD that I have laying around.

 

Any thoughts and advice on this hardware list? I'm planning to pull the trigger tomorrow and NewEgg has a "replacement only" policy on the larger items.

 

Any help would be great!

For your ethernet port, use this - http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=182818

 

For your audio, your best bet would be to edit your DSDT file once you have SL installed.
