It will work.

Check forums that specify in Hackintoshes. I'm legally not allowed by the ToS to discuss 'illegal' practices and point you to anything specific.

Rule of thumb. If it's close to hardware Apple uses in it's Macs it's easier.

Just bear in mind that before Snow Leopard the EULA only specified that OS X must be installed on an "Apple labelled" computer. Now they specify that it must be genuine Apple hardware.

I don't recommend this procedure , it'a a dangerous and will not be stable as an operating system ,
also it is not Legal ,
If you want to try Mac you can go to nearest mac distributor and try it freely .
You can go for Mac Mini if you want cheap one ,,

meh, we are enthusiasts, we do things that borderline on dangerous and sometimes cause instability (OCing), though we try things out and see if we can get them working, like snow leopard on a pc

@OP, try to look up the hardware on sites that specialize in making a hackintosh build

If you really want to try installing OS X on your PC, there are several resources and guides on how to do that. Google for "Hackintosh."

Just keep in mind that you run the risk of a major system update breaking your installation.

PS. Installing OS X on non-Mac hardware isn't illegal, it's just against the OS X EULA terms of service--meaning you won't get support from Apple.
