Planning on starting a build in the next few months and was just looking for some input and help from people's past experiences.


I've been using tonymacx98.com to pretty much configure and pick the parts that I want for the hackintosh. All the parts according to his build guide should be compatible with running os x. But if you know anything that won't then please say.I don't have a monitor on the list as I will be hooking the tower up to a 50" 1080p HD TV.

I'm still not certain on what keyboard and mouse I really want so any advice on that would be awesome. Mainly for gaming.


Thanks ahead
