Raymond Lai Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Sounds like a silly question.My hackintosh is aging and planning to buy a new mother board and a brand new CPU.Thanks for genius people like you guys to build such a great forumCan anyone kindly suggest a configuration works well with vanilla installation ? I would like to use intel i7 3770 cpu, any specific motherboard would adapt an easier installation? A "cuda" GPU suggestion is also a great idea.Any input is welcome.

UrbanBard Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 It depends on whether you intend to overclock. What size case and motherboard? What do you intend to use the computer for? How many cards? Is it to be a production machine? A game machine? If you intend to install a new MoBo and CPU in your old case, it depends on what it is. Mine was easy. I overbuilt it, because I wanted longevity. It is quite vanilla. I'm still on Chimera/ [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] for the moment. I'll try a Chameleon install when 10.8.5 arrives. I can experiment, because I have three other HDD's and a SDD. Gigabyte Ga-Z77-UD5H i7-3770 Intel H4000 internal graphics for now 16 Gb memory Corsair Carbide 500R case Corsair enthusiast 650Watt 80+ Bronze PS Seagate 1 TB 7200 rpm HDD Sandisk 120 Gb SSD I've read of Chameleon and Clover installs for it. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/280756-guide-the-all-in-one-guide-to-vanilla-os-x-including-chameleon-dsdt-for-beginners/ http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/288829-guide-gigabyte-z77x-ud5h-clover-uefi-installtweak-guide/ But you can build a nice and simpler system for around $800. A i5-3570K and a GA-Z77-DS3H will run you a bit over $300.
