I was looking at OSX mavericks earlier this week and I was saddened by the fact it wont support my graphics card (780ti) if I were to hackintosh it, however I have heard that there are drivers now that would allow me to run OSX, but there is no cuda core support.

 

Could I set up OSX from this disk http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard .

 

I have 2 seperate hard drives for each OS (running win8.1 at the moment)

You can still easily install OS X, your 780 just wont support OpenCL apps, they will crash.  For the most part you will be fine.

Not sure if you are aware of this or not, but you do need a bit more than a retail disc in order to hackintosh a PC, your going to need to a third party tool or a modified distro. 

Yes I do realise this, and I would prefer to use an unmodified distro with a third party tool, I have seen a few walkthroughs as well.

Alright just making sure. If you need any help then hit me up( I've only installed OSX on two computers so I'm no expert, but I'd like to think I could provide some help). 

 

Also what I suggest doing is to look up all your hardware and see what kext's you going to need before you install it. Most importantly get your Ethernet ethernet kext first, so you could download other kexts from the on your computer without using a second device.

 

I also know you said you didn't want to use a modified distro, but it's pretty easy if you install iAtkos ML2 in VirtualBox, then make a mavericks UniBeast USB drive form the virtual machine.

I just recently started using OSX as my main OS.  And I haven't had any real problems at all, I don't have your graphics card but it will probably be pretty stable.
