This is my first build and I'm looking to build a dual boot setup so I thought I need 2 SSDs to make it easier to choose which OS I need it to start.

So, is this build good for a hackintosh? Also, will I be able to fit any GTX 970 that's good for a hackintosh inside the Corsair Air 240 case? Or Should I be looking at the NZXT 440 H?

Is it ok if I buy a DVB-S2 card ( a TV Tuner card) for this Setup? Or it would make it complecated for the Hackintosh?

Would I need a water cooling like Corsair Hydro H100i even without overclocking?

Thank you.

Lga 1150 socket works great with the haswell refresh i5 4690k but the i7 4790K will NOT be compatible with any of those motherboards (Its lga2011, which is a more extreme socket for enthusiasts).

Everything else looks pretty good :) Seems to be compatible

Thanks, so would I need the cooler? Which one of the boards should I go with? Does it make any defference?

Also, do you all of these cards will fit into the boards and in Air 240 case?

I was asking if the cards would fit in any of these boards and the case not the boards themselves. i.e. TV Tuner card, wifi card, firewire card, and the GTX 970 card.
