Hey guys
I'm Building a new pc and will have all the components by the end of January, as I get paid then ( I have no idea how much I'm getting paid, so I might be able to upgrade a few parts and switch them from the list)
here it is, would you be able to tell me if it would be able to run most games on high ish settings at 1080p (including DayZ) as WELL as run mavericks smoothly (probably niresh) even if it's in a virtual machine.
CPU: Intel Core i5 4460 (maybe higher)
Graphics: asus gtx 970 4Gb
Mobo: Gigabyte B85-HD3
Primary storage (OS, etc): samsung 840 evo 250Gb
Secondary storage: some hard drives i have laying around somewhere probably totalling up to about 2Tb
RAM: 8 or 16gb ddr3 @ 1600mhz
Case: undecided yet but not one with LEDs because the amount of dead insects that ended up in my last build is ridiculous
PSU: 750w corsair CX750, fully modular
cheers for your help, if you could offer any better components that would be great!
Oh also and I forgot to add that I'm in the UK so if you're giving links it would be greatly appreciated if they are valid to the UK and not amazon.com etc
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;46820718]If you're screwing around with VMs you'll want RAM. 16GB minimum and an i7 would help big time as well with VMs. VMs need cores and ram and they ask a lot for it.[/QUOTE]
Tip: Niresh Mavericks in VirtualBox even with a few gigs of RAM isn't really that smooth. Do a little bit of research. If you're capable of coughing up more money for a license, getting a hypervisor from VMware will make your Hackintosh experiences much more smooth compared to in VirtualBox. Beware that it'll take a little bit of research to pull off a successful Hackintosh VM.

Cheers man, that's why I was opting to having it on a certain partition or hard drive instead, as I don't neccesarily NEED to virtualise it (I should have made that clearer, sorry guys) . Do you think it would run more smoothly when natively installed?
Chances are that it probably would run smoother on the hardware itself and not just through a VM. I haven't tinkered around with it myself, but you'd probably run into a mess with the bootloader if booting between Windows and OS X. Just a fair bit of theoretical warning if you decide to put it on its own partition/drive.

Regardless of which option you go with: Hackintoshes aren't easy. Even Niresh says it himself in the installer IIRC.
Yes but a Gigabyte motherboard, intel processor, and nvidia graphics will greatly help the setup. The 970 will make things a bit difficult for now, as there are no apple systems with the series yet. My coworker had trouble with it compared to his 670 he had in there previously, but he managed to get it working.
