Hello everyone. I have a friend who only use macs at his house and he is planing on getting a pc very soon. I would like this pc to dual boot osx and windows so that he can still connect to the others macs at his house and other reasons.
His budget is 1300$ with a monitor (He wants a 27").  He already own a gaming mouse and an apple usb keyboard.  Also I have a friend whose dad works at Microsoft so he can get me windows for 30$.
I would like to get some suggestions for this build since I have never built a hackintosh before. 

Here are the parts I already choose:

I would not use an amd card for a hackintosh go with something like a 760 also z97 is fairly new so there are some reports of boards working but there are still some bugs with some people and finally not quite shore if devils canyon is supported atm but it will so worst case he has to use windows for a few weeks then make a hackintosh but id say by the time u buy this there will be more support one more thing check out tonymacx86 for hackintosh help.
