So I'm building a custom PC for gaming. I hate windows because it's so freaking buggy, but macs can't game at all because they have crappy hardware. So I decided that I will build a PC, and then run OS X on it. I will use bootcamp to go on vista 64bit, but I will primarily use OS X for everything else.
Anyone with experience using Hackintosh (or just regular macs) computers know if the following parts are compatible with OS X?
Mobo (2 options):
-EVGA 750i SLI FTW (DDR2)
-ECS X48T (DDR3)
CPU:
-Intel E8400 Dual Core 3.0Ghz
Video:
-EVGA Nvidia GTX 260 Core 216
RAM (2 options):
-(For X48 mobo) Buffalo 1x2Gb DDR3 (1333Mhz)
-(For 750iFTW mobo) Kingston 2x2Gb DDR2 (800Mhz)
Hard Drive:
-Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 750Gb (big because I will have 2 OS's)
I'm not too worried about the Hard Drive or the processor, as all macs use Intel anyways and a hard drive is just a spinning disc. The main thing I worry about is the mobo and the video. I know that macs use nVidia cards, but is this one too new for OS X?
