Christopher's HACKINTOSH Build thread

[supadupac]

Alright alright alright.. so here's the dealio yo..

I am currently running a i5-2400 hackintosh but I am converting that to a NAS/ESXI server...
Since I am converting that I am going to go a head and build a cheap budget new Hackitosh..

What I bought so far, remember this is on a budget
- Intel i5-3570k (from old build) 3.4GHz
- 8GB DDR3 SDRAM 1333MHz
- 128GB Samsung Pro SSD
- ATI Radeon 5770 (from old build)
- Cool Master 430watt PSU

Anyways, I am having problems, the computer won't turn over. The fans spin and then stop, it's as if my Power Supply is too low .. It could be that or I could have stored the CPU badly? But I dont get it,  icovered it up fine.


I guess I will be running some tests, if anyone has any input let me know
here is a video of how it looks like

I think you're going to need more than 430 watts to power that Frankenstein.  I had the same problem and I simply bought a more powerful PSU.  Fixed my problem.

750 watt?  Damn I haven't built nor looked at desktop specs in years!  Pretty soon they'll be 1100watt and you'll be able to cook with it like a microwave.
