Nobody15000 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 The CPU should work, I am not sure about the motherboard though. And any memory in general should work with hackintosh. Any SSD/HDD will work with hackintosh as long as if it is formatted right. Basically everything on your list is probably compatibile except I am not so sure about the motherboard. I doubt you need a cooler but if you do, just buy one if it overheats. I think you can build the whole computer from scratch without extra cables. Not sure why you would run windows 8 over 7 though. I would say you should most likley be safe with those parts. It will use 480 watts for the power supply which I found out using this calculator: http://www.extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine However if you are planning to upgrade your computer and want it to be future proof, I would go with a better power supply, maybe 600 watts.
