petchy Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Hi all, I am attempting my first from scratch Hackintosh build after my friend and I made a PC he had laying around for ages with (semi decent hardware) run OS X and had a great deal of success with it, I now want to build one for myself because he is keeping that one and this is my rough Idea for a build. since I am a newbie at this I think posting here for feedback is a good idea. thanks in advance guys my build is as follows Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H61M-USB3-B3 Intel MainBoard (B3 Stepping) - 2x DDR3, 4x Sata, USB3.0, LGA1155 Graphics: Gigabyte ATI RADEON 5770 1GB, DVI, HDMI Graphics Card Processor: Intel CPU Core i5 2310, 2.90GHz, 6MB CACHE, LGA1155 Optical Drive: LG Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Burner (BH10LS30) Hard Disk: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 7200RPM 32MB SATA3/2 RAM: Corsair DDR3 8GB PC-10600/1333 (2x XMS3 4GB) CMX8GX3M2A1333C9 Ram I know posting the hard drive and RAM probably isn't necessary but it couldnt hurt the more you know about my build. thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
