Hey all, I am looking to turn my current rig into a Hackintosh. Only problem is I have an AMD based system, so I'm looking to get on the Intel side of things to make it work. That being said, I know I'll have to invest in a new motherboard and CPU. Just want to throw this out there to see if anyone has any experience with these components in a Hackintosh and if they've realized any compatibility issues therein.
Current components that are going into 'new' rig:
Sapphire Radeon HD5850 1gb
G.Skill Ripjaws ddr3 1600 4gbx2
WD Blue 320gb 7200rpm HDD
Thermaltake TR2 600w PSU
Looking at grabbing:
Intel Core i3-2100 Sandy Bridge 3.1GHz LGA 1155 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 2000 BX80623I32100
It's a touch under 200 shipped, so it seems like a great price. Plus I should be able to either hold onto my current AMD mobo/cpu for another build or sell it to recoup the cost a bit. Price/performance is a big concern, so I'm just looking for thoughts on if this will be compatible (did some googling, and couldn't come to a definite answer) and if it looks like a solid/powerful build. Thanks a bunch TH!
