I am building a workhorse Hackintosh and need advice on a motherboard (I don't game, just run dual DVI monitors, so ignore the lame GPU!).
So far I have:
CPU: i7-4790k
GPU: EVGA GeForce GT 740 Superclocked Single Slot 2GB DDR3 Graphics Cards 02G-P4-2742-KR
Case: Thermaltake Commander G41/Black/Win/SECC Black SPCC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case (CA-1B4-00M1WN-00)
PSU: EVGA 120-G1-0650-XR 650W ATX12V / EPS12V 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Power Supply
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-1866C9D-16GXM
COOLER: Cooler Master Hyper T4 - CPU Cooler with 4 Direct Contact Heatpipes
The last 2 pieces I need are a SSD and MoBo.
For the SSD: Samsung EVO 256GB.
For the MoBo it can only be ATX or mATX, I don't think the case will hold an ITX. It must have an Intel NIC, I don't want the Realtek NIC. I've built on a couple of Gigabyte MoBos, so I want to try ASUS this time. I do use an apple bluetooth keyboard, mouse, and headphones so bluetooth is nice, but I could always just get a usb dongle for that. I also don't need wifi. Here is what I have narrowed it down to, suggestions?
