Hello Everyone!
I'm finally taking the dive into building my own Hackintosh. I couldn't be more excited to get started, but before I buy anything I want your opinion. I'm wanting to build this computer with dual boot Win7 and
Mavericks. I want the build to be ideal for high-end gaming at 1080p, while also capable of Photoshop work with files as big as 12GB. I also work a lot in Aperture for my photography.
Being my first Hackintosh build I want it to go as smoothly and easily as possible. I have picked parts from "Buyer's Guide March 2014" from the "CustoMac Pro (ATX)" section. Please take a look at the part list below let me know if anything might be problematic, or let me know if I should put more or less money towards certain components.
