I would bump the cpu up to the Xeon E3-1230v3 or the Xeon E3-1231v3 since the Xeon 1226 is not hyperthreaded whereas the 1230 and above are hyperthreaded for $10-$20 more. Definately worth the extra. The 1226 is basically an i5 without the iGPU and supports ECC but the 1230+ are basically i7s without the iGPU.

The H87 Mobo should support the Xeons but couldn't find a support list for that particular mobo. however the H87 mobos may need a bios update before it would work with the Haswell Refresh Xeons (E3-1331v3, E3-1341v4 etc.) About the mobo, I typically only trust Asus, Gigabyte, or Asrock for mobos.

For power supply, I would say get 550w minimum from a good brand. Silverstone is probably fine but I would have to double check depending on the model.

But I dont want to use the Mac HDD in windows, I want it to use as second OS so I can chose which on I want to use and the moment of booting the system. Any problem with the motherboard in that case ):?.

PD: Idk how to change solution, misscliked and is shows the 1st comment as it.

Ahh ok, you wanted to have both OS, that makes sense. However, keep in mind that the Mac OS is picky about the hardware that it will run on properly since apple doesn't like ppl building computers for 1/2 the price. You should google "dual boot hackintosh windows 8" and you should find some useful info on the setup you are looking for.

Thnx! how can I chose as solution ):?
Edit: Looked on google what you said, but this is for ppl with a HDD without the OS already. In my particular case is a HDD from my 2011 mabook pro that have died 1 week ago.

Thnx anyway and sorry for being this annoying ):
