As the title reads, I am going to attempt building my first Hackintosh with the purpose being dual booting between Mac OS X and windows on two separate drives.

I just want to make sure that all these components will work perfectly together and wether what I've chosen is the best in value and price?

What's missing there is the CPU - going to order it from Takealot. Will be getting the core i5 4570.

So will all these work or should I change it up? Also will everything fit in that case? I was going to go normal size case for extra space but see this case as quite a few slots for extra HDD's and what not.

Let me know please.
 
I posted this on your other Hackintosh thread, but here it is again ...

Any board suggested here is perfect, but there are other options as well ...

They have a cool tool that will create a bootable USB of your Mountain Lion App store installer, and customize the USB by selecting your board from the list. Everything else is really easy from there.

Those are the most compatible Gigabyte boards, but that's not to say the one you have won't work as well. The list on that site is just a list of boards and Graphics Cards that their install tool supports, without you needing to do much fiddling at all.

Yeah I saw that list but that list seems quite outdated. I looked at TonyMac: http://www.tonymacx86.com/416-building-customac-buyer-s-guide-march-2014.html#motherboards and thats where i saw the motherboard - it has built in WiFi and Bluetooth. I just want to make sure that all the components will work together and if there is anything I should change maybe?
 
Essentially, the board and the Graphics Card are the most important components, so as long as you do some research and find the one's you're looking at are fully supported "out the box" you shouldn't have any issues. If the guys at TonyMac are running that board without issues, you shouldn't have any trouble either.
