UK Available Middle of the road hackintosh Build

[Adam Sleith]

Hey guys, In the UK, I know that it can be very difficult to find hackintosh compatible parts (motherboards ect) but thanks to this post, you should have no issue getting a hackintosh built from Uk available part that is very affordable

 

-Motherboard-Having a compatible motherboard is very important, I would recommend using a Gigabyte Ga-G31m-Es2l Micro ATX board. Os x works a treat on this board. It costs £52.97 on Amazon UK at the time of writing. I got mine much cheaper about two months ago but I still think it is worth it at this price

 

-Processor-Here is something important, The processor. I went with the Intel core 2 quad q6600 from an old build so it was free for me, but on Amazon UK the faster core 2 quad q8400 costs a very reasonable £116.48

 

-Ram-I went with 4GB of 1066mhz Komputerbay ram from Amazon UK which performs perfectly well and cost only £35.

 

-PSU-Your computer will be useless without power, The CiT 650w psu should get the job done with no issues and It costs only £30.06 from Amazon UK.

 

-Graphics. The Nvidia 8600GT should be plenty for average tasks costing just £53.99 from Amazon UK. However, feel free to buy something better, just make sure you check its os x compatibility first.

 

-Case- I went for the Coolermaster Elite 330 costing just £28.99 from Amazon UK. However, the choice is completely yours.

 

For things like HDD's and Dvd drives and fans, feel free to choose what you wish, it will all just work.

 

The total cost for the parts I posted comes to £317.49.

 

 

Enjoy hackintoshing
