Unfortunately due to the way the Macintosh is designed, the OS can only be run and installed on specific hardware (except for virtulization).
Tony Mac x86 has lots of handy information on building a hackintosh and outlines compatible hardware.
Have a sift through this page there should be a combo in there to fit your needs. Obviously if you are gaming on windows, lean towards a more powerful GPU. An i5 is good for gaming, although if you do editing regularly, go towards the i7.
yes it works on intel only, and the best compatible motherboards are from gigabyte.
But i think its gonne be hard to fit everything into your budget, since the Aus prices are much higher then US.
Best i could for a hack in tosh compatible build, with some editing skills. in a bitfernix prodigy case.

If you just forget the whole hackintosh thing:

For that price you might as well hackintosh, its only $20 more for the better hackintoshable build
Anyone who thinks that it is only possible to hack gigabyte mobos.
i know that, most Asus boards are also compatible with hackintosh but they are mostly more expensive you know ☺
It is still the easiest to hackintosh a Gigabyte motherboard.
The new Mac Pro has downgraded W7000's in it so I'd assume Radeon cards would be supported.
Well if thats the case, and the radeon drivers are fully supported, then i would go for my second build with R9-280X. The card is also cheaper in Australia. and it performs better in most games then a GTX770 2GB.
Keep saying that its still a pitty that there is no real time AMD kernel patch for OSX, to make it possible, to run OSX on an AMD cpu, unfortunatly, this is only possible in vm-ware.

I did all little research on the 280x's compatibility and it is confirmed to work with the Asus version, but the Gigabyte you has reported problems.
i had the Msi 280X if im right ☺
