I am on the verge of finishing up of my gaming/hackintosh build. I just need to purchase the case and everything else is on its way. Right now, I only have 1 SSD and 2 or 3 HDDs. I planned to use the SSD I have right now for Windows since I'd rather use it for gaming and hackintosh later when I get a second SSD and HDDs would be mass storage/backups. How difficult is it to install OS X after Windows and get the dual boot working well? I heard it's better to install OS X first but I really don't want to have to format and reinstall my Windows games/files when I get my second SSD down the line.
