Help me spec out a new Hackintosh Project!

Hey everyone!

I need some help, my friend is opening up his own studio, and he doesn't have the money for a Mac Pro right now so he wants to build a new PC tower and Hackintosh it. I am helping him build the machine but I need help picking out

- Video Card
- Processor
- Motherboard

that would work best. He is looking for a Processor and Ram heavy unit, so Video card performance is not important, as long as it can run dual DVI thats all he wants. And he is looking to get a Sandy Bridge i7 and pack it with 16-24Gb's of RAM.

In total I have a budget for $1500 for the tower. And I would like to shop at either

Newegg.ca or NCIX

If you guys have any suggestions that would be awesome!

Thank you!
