Trying to put together a simple setup for a Hackintosh. Can I get some assistance please?

Hey.


Here's what I have in mind:




  • Intel i5-2500K (I will overclock and chose this over the Ivy and Haswells because lower temps, higher clocks and lower price)




  • Sapphire HD7950 OC Edition (Already have this sitting in my room. I've read that its compatible with all OS Xs since and including 10.8.3)




  • 8GB Corsair XMS3 1333MHz RAM (Have it)




  • 22" LG 1920x1080 Screen (Got it)




  • Antec HCG 750W PSU (got it)




What I don't have is a motherboard.


I've been tossing up between two:



I understand that the general consensus is that Gigabyte motherboards are the best to go with due to their default compatibility with OS X but I'm still having a hard time deciding whether it'll meet my needs.


Here's what I'll run on the mobo:




  • i5-2500k OCed




  • HD7950 OCed




  • 8GB 1333MHz RAM




  • 1 or 2 SSDs




  • 2 or 3 HDDs




  • USB / Wireless Mouse




  • PS/2 Keyboard




  • Windows 8




  • Mac OS X




  • Battlefield 3 /4




Which of the mentioned Mobos would be the best?


All of them have been used by other people to successfully run a Hackintosh.


Please feel free to make other suggestions.


Thanks for the help.
