Huskehn Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I've always been an avid Windows user. Like many Windows users, I just kind of assumed OS X was an inferior operating system. One day, I used a Mac Pro. Mind = blown. Since then, I've tried pretty persistently to make a working Hackintosh, but never could. My current build seems to be the worst possible one for running OS X, with an nForce motherboard and AMD processor. I have gotten Snow Leopard installed on this, but it crashed quite frequently. I then gave up for a while. But now, I want to build a new computer and start clean with OS X. No more Windows (well, okay, maybe dual boot). I'm not exactly rolling in money, but this is what I have in mind: Motherboard: ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 - $129.99 Processor: Intel i5-2400 - $189.99 Memory: 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz - $0.00 (already purchased) Video: Nvidia GTX 460 - $0.00 (already purchased) All of the other parts don't seem significant and I already have them. My main concern is if the system will be 100% compatible with OS X. As far as the OSx86 HCL says, it will be. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

snackole Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 This is a much better deal for a CPU http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0354589 Also I would go with a Gigabyte MB for better support from others.
