Will this build work? Should any parts be swapped for others?

 

P.S. If all of the prices look really high it's because i'm from Australia and all the parts are super expensive here :/

Hello Larry,

 

do you know the Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) in the OSx86 Wiki? http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page - linked in the header of this forum...

 

Beside that all parts should work. You won't be able to overclock the Xeon, so a smaller PSU would be sufficient. Maybe an additional HDD for savings on the PSU?

 

Best regards
