This is a build for my aunt, she prefers mac over windows but they are too costly for her. These are the parts that i am looking at but wondering if the parts are compatible

Case: Cooler Master Elite 344
Board: ASUS Maximus VI gene
CPU: Intel Core i5-4570
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws 8GB(2x4GB) 1866 (PC3 14900)
HDD: WD Blue 1TB 7200 RPM
PSU: Cooler Master 350W(i might upgrade this one)
GPU: not looking at one now but a possible upgrade in the future

Also just out of curiosity is my build compatible

Board: ASUS Maximus vi hero
CPU: intel core i7-4770
RAM: Corsair Vengance pro 16GB(2x8GB) 1866
HDD: WD Black 1TB 7200rpm

Any build is compatible. You have to use an unformatted blank hard drive .You just have to format the hard drive to Mac OS Extended (journal). To do this you will need a Mac OSX DVD.

1. Insert the Mac OS X DVD and press C key while your Mac is starting to start from the disc.

2. Go to Utilities menu > Disk Utility, choose the hard disk in the sidebar and go to Partition tab.

3. Press "Options" button and choose "GUID Partition Table". You need it to install OS X.

4. Press + button to create a new partition. In Format, choose "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" and press Apply.

5. Close Disk Utility and install Mac OS X.
