Here's a PCPartPicker list, but the price is a little higher than mentioned because I ordered the parts in India where electronics are taxed quite a bit so it came up to maybe $1000 (paid in Rupees).

The issue is that this PC is for a friend who has no experience with Hackintoshes but has lots with legitimate Macs, and I am not in the same city as him. I will help him through the installation, so I was wondering whether using Clover would be wise or not. Also I've heard the 270X has issues with multiple monitors on OS X, is this true? And is there a workaround? I have built a Hackintosh before (using it now) so I know my way around Unibeast, Multibeast and setting up the BIOS. Any help is appreciated!
