Can I make a second partition with a mac OS next to windows 8.1?

 

And what would I need to change about my parts to run a hackintosh with as few problems as possible? (Specs in signature)

I also took a look here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/building-customac-buyers-guide-april-2015.html#CustoMac_Pro

You shouldn't have to change anything, this individual had no issue setting up a Hackintosh with a Z87 D3HP. http://www.tonymacx86.com/user-builds/120453-commas-haswell-ga-z87-d3hp-i5-4670k-amd-r9-270x.html

 

Of course note that GPU setup won't be the same, but I believe it's as simple as downloading the Web Driver from NVIDIA for OS X.

Great to hear. Do I have to format my storage drive? If I recall, my dad has problems with FAT32

You have to format the drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) if I recall correctly. Dual-booting is definitely possible, but I don't recall or understand how to do it. Nicholas Marzio will likely know more.

Even my second hard drive? I'm using my SSD for my OS.

 

I'm not an expert in this field, but I THINK you need to install mac os first, then install windows as if it were a mac.

Yeah I've looked that up, and that's true.

OS X doesn't recognize NTFS, but it does recognize FAT32. If your second drive is using FAT32, you will be able to use it in OS X without a format. If it's NTFS, you will need to format it to use it in OS X (but of course then Windows won't recognize it.) Apparently there are software workarounds for this.
