AMD is always a challenge, if you really want OSX, you should try Intel, but it might be possible to get it working with AMD if you know how.
I saw someone had the GT250 working, but I can't seem to remember how. OS: Snow Leopard Mac OS X 10.6.2 (10C540) | Vanilla Kernel | 64 bit Kernel | EFI64 CPU: Intel Core i7 920 @ 3.6 GHz GPU: 2x SLI Dual GTX 260 (OpenCL working)(QE+CI) RAM: 6GB DDR3 1600MHz 7-7-7-20 AUDIO: Realtek (5.1 config) HDD: RAID 0- 1 + 1TB HDD's | 320GB HDD MOBO: MSI X58 Platinum SLI (Intel ICH10) CASE: Haf 932 Full Tower Case + Red Cathodes MONITOR: Asus VK266H 26" 1920x1200 LCD All working |

A GT250 is a 9800GTX, its slightly upgraded and uses less power
but works just fine with EFI strings for a 9800GTX, and is even detected and usable without EFI strings, using "PC EFI 10.5" and its GraphicsEnabler As far as getting parts for a Hackintosh (1) Stick with Intel and Nvidia (2) Stick with dual DVI video card, name brand (3) Get a name brand, well reviewed, power supply (4) Get a motherboard know to work, that there is a guide for, like the "GA-EP45-UD3P" and others, that will cut out 90% of the problems |

You can read my specifications in my signature.
I suggest you to get a better graphic card and a dual-core INTEL processor. You can go with the same motherboard, because the drivers are easy to find and almost always included in the distros.
