So as my first PC/Hackintosh build ever, I've gone to choose most of the parts recommended by tonymac86x's website's June 2014 guide.


From what I understand, its the CPU, MOBO, RAM, and GPU that are the most important ones to choose as recommended. Others, like PSU, cooler, and storage are more or less peripheral items that are more flexible for me to choose from?


I'm probably going to stick with the following spec, and bide my time until deals show up, but in terms of PSU and cooler: Can I just jump on any that I find to be good, but ones that aren't necessarily on tonymac86x's recommended build list?


Also any comments/critique would be very helpful in making sure i dont screw up this build by buying wrong parts.
