building a Hackingtosh

[Del Shad]

Hi

I need some advice on which component to buy to build a powerful hackingtosh for gaming.

For gaming build, build an ordinary gaming PC. Then install both windows and hackintosh for dual boot at start up.

If its for gaming and general use an i5 is what your after

CPU: i5 3570k
CPU cooler: closed loop water cooling - H80i Corsair , air cooling - cooler master hyper 212 evo (would reccomend corsair SP or noctua fans here)
RAM: 8GB of DDR3 Corsair - low profile if using air cooling - high heat spreaders if using closed loop water cooler
MOBO: ASRock Pro4 or Extreme 4
GPU: HD Radeon 7870 / 7950 or 7970 dependant on your budget.
PSU: 650W Corsair CX
Case: Your choice, im not going to reccomend since this is so personal
DVD drive: Samsung DVD-RW drive (or none at all! i dont have one...)
SSD: Samsung 840 / Crucial M4 (OS and games on here :] )
HDD: Western Digital Blue - 1TB (media music and mass storage)
Case fans: Corsair SP / AF fans or Noctua fans
