Now, to the questions. I really tried to google it all, but I can't find it all without trying it out, which is not really an option. The main question is, how good will OS X most likely run? I only read that it should work, but not really more. Another question, is it possible to dual boot a normal windows 8.1 installation or will I get problems with the motherboard?
Normally, the parts should be generally compatible, but I don't really want to try installing OS X if it's not even worth it, that's why I'm asking. If it's important, I have a MacBook to download an installation image and to format HFS+ drives.. And the power supply is wrong, PcPartPicker doesn't seem to have mine, it's a BeQuiet! Straight Power 10 600W.
Happy Holidays! :)
