Good Morning Everyone,
Below is my current build and I was curious to know whether or not it would be ideal to install OSX on it, in other words is this a machine I can consider a Hackintosh...? I have no real reason for wanting to build a hackintosh other than the fact that I'd like to see if I could. I find building a PC is not a problem with me, but knowing the hardware and all of the advancements made in the last few years has begun to elude me (only slightly)... in any case, I know there are smarter people than me in this world and with the help this community provided me with my earlier (budget) build below, I thought I'd throw this at yeah... thanks in advance for the input!
