Oh the Shimian, quite good. But are you sure you want a refurbished one? If you get a dead pixel or some other problem, you will face a lot of problems. I think the limit is upto 35K-duty free, may have changed.

There will be customs. How much? Can't say for sure. Or you can just kinda smuggle it you know :p What you are specifically looking for is the cheap Korean monitors which use LGs IPS panels or Samsung's PLS panels. Search for Yamakasi Catleap and Qnix Q2710, both can be gotten under $300.

This setup quite simply sucks. A GT630 in this day and age...never. You can do much better with that budget.

It would probably in your best interests to buy a new case. Something like a 300R that has enough holes and space.

How much did you buy it for?

For the love of god people need to stop recommending a 650W PSU for the R9 290 and 290X! Probably no reason to go for 2400Mhz, you won't notice any difference in gaming, go for 1866Mhz modules with a CAS latency of 9, no greater.

The GPU doesn't necessarily be a nVidia GPU, certain AMD ones will be fine too. Google for Hackintosh, the first link will give you most of the hardware requirements.

I have to try this!

Okay, even then don't drop below H87 if its fine with you.

^^lololololololol

Haswell compatible PSU or not, it should be able to provide clean stable power so that the processor can drop into lower C states. The PSU needs to able to provide stable power when the load isn't high. check out jonnyguru.com if you wish to read reviews about PSUs.

87 series chipset is kind of last gen, it doesn't have support for M.3 Drives(useless in desktop in my opinion), the 87 boards probably wont support broadwell processors unless the manufacturer comes out with a UEFI update. As you would have guessed from the above line, H97/Z97 boards have...

As far as I know, Yes.

I'm sorry I dont understand why that would happen, unless the drivers don't get initialised properly as was the problem in my case. I really don't think you will have any problems at all.

Have to taken a look at Sager and their options? Go to Xoticpc.com and check them out, best value for money but if you have any problems you will have to send it back to the USA. Nevertheless, the laptops are powerful and fairly cheap.
