Will I be able to build a hackintosh with this mobo?

[opio]

So my brothers and dad want to get my mom a new computer for mothers day and she prefers OSX to windows by a large margin, we already own this motherboard and was wondering if it is compatible with building a hackintosh. Thanks guys

Chances are good, best is to try it. (And add your motherboard to the database for everyone else)

will do good sir, I'd imagine that since the FTW version works the ITX version should as well, at least in theory right?

Bumps are against the posting rules.

I would more bet on the Z87 chipset itself, there aren't very many variants. What might not work are 100% of the drivers for every device on the board. Third party components are all over motherboards, but the majority are common components like realtek sound and via NIC chips. The Z87 SATA controller and the rest of the Z87 chipset have to be supported for Haswell based Macs to work.

So in other words it will probably work, I'll just have to download a lot of 3rd party drivers?
I'm sorry for bumping the thread, it's just I'm about to spend a lot of money on this and want to make sure it works, on tonymacx86 the z87 FTW edition is listed as compatible, and I found a couple of other posts, one dude on amazon said, "I've installed Mavericks on a EVGA Z87 FTW which is basically the same as your board. Search for "EVGA Z87 FTW" on Insanelymac."

another said: it works, use myHack instead of tony's unibeast app. I could not get myHack to work with a 280x GPU though, but it works great with a HD6850. I couldn't get unibeast to work on this board at all though. But it myHack works great with this board and an i5.

but I'll be running a core i3 hasell lga1150
