Ok, so i'm looking to build a fairly average spec hackintosh, will be using it purely for design (photoshop mainly). However I really dont have a clue where to start with this, I've been building PC's for a fair few years now so thats easy enough, it just seems that theres so much out there with compatibility issues for different hardware with this I can't get my head around what an ideal, hassle free build would be.

I'm UK based and looking to spend around £600 ($1200 ish), could do with most of the stuff being from Cheap Laptops, Hard Drives, LCD Monitors, TVs, Televisions, Netbooks and more at Ebuyer.com if possible. So long as this thing can run snow leopard and wont require and absolute endless number of hacks/mods to get working smoothly then I'll be happy...

So any suggestions on hardware?

Nice combo, theres lots of guides for this mobo, check in the tutorial section or google it, post back if you have any problem

Is SLI a possibility btw, tried searching the forums and there was nothing. Thinking of quad monitoring this at some point.

Yeah you can try with sli without problem, check netkas site to know the best options or check the HCL
