I have a pc, that is already built, and want to find out if its possible to run mac os from it, if so how would i get mac os on it. My comonents are as follows

  • CPU
    I7-4770k
  • Motherboard
    Gigabyte Sniper 5
  • RAM
    Corsair Vengence pro 16gb 2133mhz
  • GPU
    Gtx 780ti windofrce OC
  • Case
    Corsair 750d
  • Storage
    Samsung 840 evo 500gb / Segate Barracuda 3tb
  • PSU
    Corsair rm850
  • Cooling
    Corsair h100i - with sp120 quiet edition
  • Keyboard
    Razer Black Widow Ultimate 2013
  • Mouse
    Razer Death Adder 2013
I know gigabyte parts are usually the best choice for this, which is why I am now interested, having a gigabyte mobo, not planning on changing, or building anything else though.
As well as I would use a friends mac, to get the software.

I don't think the G1 Sniper M5 is supported very well, the killer E2200 LAN and creative sound core 3D will not work even if you can get the board itself working.

You should look at TonyMac x86 for a list of supported motherboards

"I genuinely dislike the promulgation of false information, especially to people who are asking for help selecting new parts."
