Your build seems to be okay, the only thing that I'm not sure about is the USB3 and Firewire. You could always refer to the success builds found in tonymac forum. We couldn't help much in helping you deciding which to go since many of us have different hardware and some like mine is a year old technology.

Your specs should be okay. Just use the BIOS found in http://bios4asus.blogspot.com/ .

SSD and casing are not that important in building hackintosh, just use whatever you want .. most SSD are compatible with Mac OSX, just get the latest batch and you're okay.

Casing, you can choose a chap-ayam brand or one that cost thousands, it doesn't matter as long as you can fit the motherboard, graphics card and HD/SSD into it.

Hackintosh on AMD can be done by patching the kernel, I've no idea if there is a support for your hardware. For me, not worth a try.

Shouldn't be a problem, download the patched BIOS from http://bios4asus.blogspot.com/. Do search on DSDT for your motherboard.

Opss, you might have problem with your graphics card though.

It is not supported.

Well, try it .. if you can boot up and install, then you're lucky..

Yes, chimera/chameleon is required.

Get the latest Multibeast 5.1 and install FakeSMC.

I believe when you were booting using unibeast, the fakeSMC version that was used were the one loaded from unibeast instead of the one that you've installed in your PC.

My suggestion, boot up to your ML using unibeast, don't use easybeast/userdsdt. Instead, select the kexts manually. The FakeSMC is the one that you need to have, it is not optional, without it you can't boot directly from the HD. Install the one from the Multibeast, reboot, if everything running .. then go and work on the audio/ethernet.

The plugins is good to have, you can HWMonitor and have it showing all the temp & speed too .. I like it and my status monitor shows the CPU multiplier, so I know most of the time, the CPU is not strained

Find a friend with Mac, buy from the online store and create a thumb drive. You need at least a Mac running SL. Else, ebay I guess is the best bet.

The latest Mac Mini should come with Mountain Lion, and I've no idea if you could download SL or Lion from Online AppStore anymore.

Any upgrade will surely breaks something, particularly the audio. So, as usual, download latest multibeast and the combo upgrade. Thing that didn't work and cause problem after 10.8.2 will be the old FakeSMC plugins. Run the combo upgrade and then multibeast before rebooting.

Do you need to do anything when booting up using Unibeast? If yes, you need to add the same thing into /Extra/org.chameleon.boot.plist

Set the PCIRootUID to 0 and GraphicsEnabler to Yes for your card.

<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>PCIRootUID=0</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>

I'm using Chimera but I've only /Extra/org.chameleon.boot.plist ..

You need to create the file yourself it is not there, so, create the /Extra folder and then create the file. This /Extra folder should contains your DSDT file too. Way of doing the right installation will be:

1. After OSX installation, boot using unibeast.
2. Download the correct DSDT file from http://www.tonymacx86.com/11-dsdt-database.html. Put into your Desktop.
3. Run multibeast, select userDSDT (this will copy the DSDT file into /Extra)
3. You need to select the correct audio, network and fakeSMC kexts for your motherboard. What kexts need to be added found in this thread:

If your motherboard doesn't need DSDT, it will work, otherwise, follow the steps I've listed above.

I've the following files in my /Extra folder:

BTW, if you need the sleep function to work or some USB3 ports, you may need to download DSDT found in tonymac website. Gigabyte is known to be the best board to install OSX.

He want to be able to buy the ML upgrade, only SL and above will allow you access to AppStore.
