landonrs Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Greetings all! I'm trying to build a hackintosh on the cheap while still using reliable parts (aren't most of us?) that doesn't need a lot of patching because, alas, I am a noob. . Anywho, this is my component list so far. GIGABYTE GA-P55A-UD3 LGA 1156 Intel P55 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard COOLER MASTER Elite 460 RS-460-PSAR-J3 460W ATX12V V2.31 Power Supply Intel Core i3-540 Clarkdale 3.06GHz LGA 1156 73W Dual-Core Desktop Processor BX80616I3540 G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL Western Digital Caviar Blue WD2500AAKX 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive EVGA 8800GTS 320mb I think that I'm a-ok with compatability. I wanted to get it looked over by some experienced builders and see if they had any recommendations to lower costs or to improve the build. Ideally, I'd like to make a machine that can run the adobe suite & play sc2l. pretty normal stuff. Let me know if anything sticks out to ya. Much appreciated!
