What Do You Think?

Im building a computer for video editing and gaming. I kinda went over my budget a little and i was wondering what you think of the setup and if i could cut some corners in the price (cheaper MoBo). Here are the specs:

Processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072 (I had a Amd FX 4100 but this is better and i want to run hackintosh, Can I run it?)

Mother Board: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157271

RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820178382

Power Supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152035 (i might do duel GPU later on)

Graphic Card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500193

Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811144266

Hard Drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136891 (do I need 2 Drives for windows and Hackintosh?)

Can this Run hackintosh and do you see any corners i can cut?
BTW the current price is about $780 and i want to spend about $720.

I wouldn't cut corners on the PSU. I wouldn't trust Raidmax to power my system. Try this PSU from a reliable brand:

XFX Core Edition PRO650W (P1-650S-NLB9) 650W ATX12V 2.2 & ESP12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply $89.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207014

I know it pushes your budget up a bit more, but there is a rebate that should bring the price down. I would still buy this PSU even if I didn't get the rebate though. The PSU powers the whole system and I wouldn't want an unreliable brand to destroy my expensive parts.

Here is some RAM from a rock solid brand:

Crucial 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model CT2KIT51264BA1339 $39.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148347

Recommending 1333 RAM because I saw some thread a few days ago about how any RAM greater than 1333 would compromise your warranty with Intel or something.

Can't really comment on anything else as I have zero experience with setting up a Hackintosh.
