revnu Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Hallo community, i have to build a hackintosh for a good friend of mine. Now i need some help to get tru the "find-correct-parts-jungle". im tending to select parts from tutorials, that are proven to work.....perhaps anybody can link me to a guide there parts are used im looking for. The hackintosh is needed to edit photos..and a little bit of videoediting. but nothing professional. he is a funuser who want to edit a little bit from time to time. my thoughts are going to buy a i5 2500k, with itegrated grafics, and 8gb ram 1600mhz. but wich motherboard ? i like asrock. anybody knows a up-to-date asrockboard proven to work good ? or perhaps a i3 ?? or are real graficcard ?? questions over questions..i know greetz ps.: sry for bad english, im from germany Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/274243-need-help-to-select-components-for-a-mid-class-hackintosh/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

revnu Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 We have a German forum. Yes i saw that. But i like to communicate with the hole community my english is not that bad....just excuse me some strage mistakes, as its been a long time i learned english in school Ok, back to my question...i would appreciate it very much if someone give some hints to select proper Hardware. for example i could buy this mainboard: http://www.gigabyte.de/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3800#ov and put a i5 2500k on it and put 4gb RAM.....but i dont know if it will work...i tend to select hardware proven by the community as being very compatible. greetz or perhaps i should go i7 2500 & h67 chipset and use onboard intel3000, that seems to be very compatible. but the friend for who i create the hackintosh told me he wants to edit pictures with it, and perhaps sometime videos. so it would be a better idea to go for a real graficcard. like i said the whole computer should be in mid/low-priceclass. like to hear some ideas plz Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/274243-need-help-to-select-components-for-a-mid-class-hackintosh/#findComment-1785108 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaap Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Check the compatibility list at http://www.kakewalk.se/compatibility/ The board you chose is on there, so you should have no trouble setting things up using Kakewalk. I've found that to be the most fool-proof method to use. You might run into trouble trying to use the on board graphics though. I'm not for certain, but I'd wager it won't work with full QE/CI graphics acceleration. Without it, OSX blows. Personally, unless I knew for sure the onboard graphics have full support, I'd just get a compatible graphics card from the kakewalk list.
