Updating Processor and Video Cards Compatability Issues

[skirack]

I am going crazy, I have my Lifehacker Build 3 Hackintosh up and running but I cannot clear the hardware compatibility warning to run Final Cut Pro. I am very new to building computers in general so getting to this point has been quite an accomplishment for me. I followed the steps very carefully an I cannot find a step that I missed.

 

I have been sifting through many hackintosh websites looking for an easy to understand guide to editing my processor and graphics card settings to allow me to proceed but I am either buried in a language I cannot understand or I find vague references to processes and techniques I am not aware of.

 

Here is what is installed:

Antec Sonata III Case with 500W Power Supply

ASUS P7P55D-E Pro ATX Intel Motherboard

EVGA GeForce 9500 GT 01G-P3-N959-TR Video Card

Intel Core i7-860 2.8GHz LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Processor

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (4 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory x 2

 

Here is what my Hackintosh shows under "about this mac":
