I understand AMD processors don't play well with Mac OS so I'm switching out the processor and motherboard for a i5- 4660 and Gigabyte GA-Z97 and maybe a Samsung Evo 850. Hopefully this build works well. Some guy on the Tony Mac forums did this build here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/user-builds/121739-success-fatbernss-hackintosh-build-ga-z87-hd3-i5-4670k-gtx-660-2gb.html and it seemed to go fine. Its not a golden build or anything so i'm wondering if getting support will be difficult. Also are iMessage, Facetime, and Handoff available on Hackintoshes or not. Thanks for your help I figured you guys are a friendly community and from what I've heard TonyMac is pretty unfriendly to noobs.
