I'm building a small mATX machine with a decent videocard. I want it to be able to boot Yosemite with sound, ethernet, and USB3. WiFi would be nice to have but not necessary.


I've built 3 hackintoshes before but the old way with chimera. I'm very interested because of what im seeing with clover. Please look at my partlist and tell me if the motherboard and videocard are good choices.
