Can someone help me build a Hackintosh for PT HD 10.x

I would like to build a Hackintosh to run Pro Tools HD 10. I have decided to stay on Pro Tools 10 HD for a variety of reasons. I am running Pro Tools HD7 with a Magma EB7. My computer is a MacPro 1,1 (updated to 2,1) and the system is very stable. Since I will not be upgrading any time soon I want to replace the old computer to increase performance for native processing when mixing and VI use during recording. Most people seem to be building Hackintoshes in order to recycle PCI cards which is not important to me. I use PCIe and have maxed out on cards. I have read a lot of posts on this forum and tonymacx86.com but I cannot figure out the essentials of my build. My requirements are (in order of importance):

1. Full compatibility with OS 10.8.5 - I want to be able to run a fully qualified OS


2. As much RTAS/AAX32 performance as posssible


3. a decent amount of internal SATA drives (6+)


4. best cooling possible, probably water cooling


5. I only need USB3 for preipherals. I do not need FW or TB

I am finding it hard to decide whether to go for Xeon or i7 CPU's. As far as i7 CPU's are concerned there are so many to choose from (3970X, 4930K, 4960X, not sure 5xxx wil be compatible) but they only support a single CPU and mostly seem to have 4 cores. Will the performance be adequate?



Apparently power management doesn't work with socket 2011 CPU's. Will this ever be an issue for running Pro Tools?



My initial plan was to go for dual Xeon X5960's since they were the most powerful CPU's used in the MacPro 5,1's. There seems to be very few builds out there with these processors. Is that because they were very expensive at the time of release or are i7 build generally easier?



I realise these questions are fairly vague and n00b-like but in all honesty after spending a aweful lot of time researching this it seems that I still can't see the wood for the trees.



Any help and pointers will be much appreciated.
