might take some work to get the 280x to work but should be okay.

I thought the 280x worked out of the box?

I thought you wanted a Gigabyte board and a nvidia gpu?

 

i tried hackintoshing my asus rampaige iv but it wasnt easy to say the least so i gave up.

Only in Mavericks does it work out of the box.

Why would you use anything other than mavericks?

Gigabyte boards have a tendency to work better/easier/more consistently. But other boards can/do work. As for an Nvidia GPU, AMD works fine in Mavericks, and I think in pre mavericks with 'some' work.

Some people don't like it :/

It's really not any different than lion/mt lion. I could see wanting to use SL instead...but thats getting old.
