Hi,


I am looking into building a hackintosh (with a mind to turn it into a htpc/gaming pc when apple releases an updated mini) with the following needs



  1. Run Mavericks/Yosemite (when released)

  2. Run XCode 5/6

  3. Run VirtualBox (with a Windows 7 guest OS).

  4. Run Warcraft 3 (optional) :)


I would appreciate some comments on the setup I have

Instead of the QNIX, I might go in for a cheap 1080p monitor for now. Would the QNIX run well with just the integrated graphics? Has anybody in India imported one of these? I was hoping to get an estimate on the import duty before ordering, but, don't know of a reliable way to do so. I would like to add a graphics card (geforce gt740), but, would prefer deferring that to the future.


While I am using pcpartpicker to display the build, I will be using flipkart.com or amazon.in for my shopping. So, if anybody has suggestions for alternative parts that won't blow up my budget from these sites, I would appreciate it . Thanks for your help :)
