Going to be building a new pc, using
AMD Phenom II x4 955 Black Edition
Dont Know What Mobo Will Work For A Hackintosh So Help Is Needed!
8GB OCZ 1033Mhz DDR3 Ram, SO Mobo Needs DDR3 Support
Dont Know On Graphics Card Yet
Please Can Someone Give Me A List Of Mobos, Graphics Cards Which Will Work As A Hackintosh
Ideally Mobo Less Than £80GBP And Graphics £100 Or Other Way Round.

Decided against AMD as it is too much hassle.
Will the below spec work as a hackintosh??
1x Intel Core i5-2400 3.10GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail
1x NZXT Phantom Enthusiast Full Tower Case - White
1x MSI P67A-C45 Intel P67 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard - (Sandybridge)
1x Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB SATA 6Gb/s Hard Drive (ST2000DL003)
1x XFX ATI Radeon HD 5450 1024MB DDR2 PCI-Express Graphics Card
1x Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM 1yr Warranty
2x OCZ Intel Extreme XMP 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 10666C7 1333MHz Low Voltage Dual-Channel Kit (OCZ3X1333LV4GK)
Don't Know What Fan/Heatsink Upgrade To Get Yet, But Wont Be Overclocking For A While

total cost just over £500 GBP or about $850 USD
You better go with Gigabyte or Asus for your mobo, if you want MSI read the HCL
checked HCL, and this is on the supported listQuote:

does that mean that AM3 CPU's are supported???
if so would either of the below CPU's Work Well with Hackintosh as they are not on the HCL supported list but that is because they are AMD not Intel.
AMD CPU AM3 Phenom II x4 965 or AMD CPU Phenom II X6 1055T AM3 CPU 9MB AM3 2.8GHz/3.3GHz Turbo Core
HCL 10.6.6 also says about the mobo
"64bit kernel boots with -force64 arch=i386, although I still got the odd KP and app crash that seems to be solved by removing -force64"
does that mean getting 8GB DDR3 Ram is pointless as it will not recognise/use any after 3.somethingGB???
