Also, i will want to fill that PCI-E x16 slot with a graphics card. What GPU will be OSX friently and give me enough performace for some casual gaming

Fill the PCI-e slot with an x1600 or x1800 ATI card.

 

Modem and TV card will not work. Media reader may not work. Some have trouble with SATA, others do not.

 

Otherwise, should work fine.
