Basically like this http://lifehacker.com/5938332/how-to-run-mac-os-x-on-any-windows-pc-using-virtualbox

 

It should work.

 

Maybe you want to do a hackintosh :D

I will eventually dual boot once i can afford a second ssd.

The only annoying thing with your build is the motherboard... Hackintoshs work best with Gigabyte boards. You may have to flash your bios to a custom one. But I'm not 100% sure as I haven't actually looked into it.

And as far as VMs go, you often use a custom ISO like iAtkos to do it, and that's if you can get it to work at all. (I remember trying it a long time ago before just building a dedicated hackintosh and it never worked... Now I actually bought a motherboard that is known well to work etc, it's fantastic!)

CPU i5 4430 3Ghz | Ram: 16GB DDR3 1600 | GPU: GTX 650 Ti 1GB | Mobo: H87N-Wifi | Case: White Bitfenix Prodigy | Boot Drive: 120GB 840 Evo (Mac OS X) 120gb OCZ Vertex 3 (Windows) | Games Drive: 640GB WD Green | OS: Windows 8 & OS X 10.9.1

I love all technology. The perfection of macs for my designer side, and the hardware and fun of tinkering on the of the pc side. We can have it all, just not at the same time.
