First post: Hardware questions (Z87 chipset)

[Pan007]

This is my first post, so please be kind. (English is not my native language, so please excuse typing errors)

 

I have googled Hackintosh and z87 motherboard, but I'm still in the dark.

 

Have worked with Linux (Debian and some Ubuntu), OS X (Panther --> Mavericks) and Windows (3.11 --> Windows 7).

I now want one computer that can multiboot OS X (Mavericks) and Windows (8.1). Linux will still be on a laptop on it's own.

I'm gonna use OS X for Aperture, video editing, browsing etc. Windows for gaming, learning more windows (because of work)

 

I'm now searching for hardware, and have found these components:

 

ASUS Z87-PRO

Intel Core i7-4770K

Corsair H100i

Kingston DDR3 HyperX Beast 16GB (maybe upgrade to 32 GB)

Intel® SSD 530 Series 240GB

Seagate Barracuda® 2TB (2 of this)

ASUS GeForce GTX 760 2GB PhysX CUDA (maybe later SLI with another card)

Plextor DVD Writer, PX-891SA

ICY BOX IB-867-B 5,25" Card Reader/Port

Corsair RM850, 850W PSU

Corsair Carbide 500R Midi Tower

Asus 27" LED MX279H (Using HDMI to GPU)

+ cabels and CPU paste

 

My question is simple: Will there be any trouble getting the hardware to work under OS X?

no, this hardware work easy in 10.9

Thanks.

I'll throw in an order on the hardware then.

I'll stick to 16GB RAM and upgrade later if needed. The second GPU isn't something I'll need I guess, my gaming isn't what it used to be.

 

I'll search through this site for guides on how to get it up and running. ;-)
