I am looking to build my first ever computer, and I'm getting my hands dirty at building a Hackintosh. After doing some online research, I'm settling for the following components. I also have a few questions
Basically, I'm planning to dual boot windows 8 and Mac OSX Mavericks. I have a few questions regarding the above build.
1) Can I dual boot from one hybrid drive? Will partitioning it work?
2) Does the brand of graphics card matter? I have seen some GTX 760 brand that are much cheaper (e.g. PNY, Gainward, Mini MSI GTX 760) but they are not listed on Tonymacx86 website.
3) I know that I will need a wifi card, but I will be using my USB wifi adapter for the time being. But I wonder if everything else will work with minimal setting? Especially audio and Bluetooth.
