Building a Mac Pro

[will waters]

Hi
I have recently decided to build my own desktop, i have found an old G5 mac pro that no longer works, i have ripped out the inside's and now it is just a case. I will need to buy a new mother board for it, and i was looking, could i use AMD CPU with mac OSX or does it have to be Windows, i will want both, also the intel mother boards i keep looking at nearly all have integrated GPU's (under £150) which is why i was looking at AMD, unless i pay slightly more!
I will be looking at spending between (£300-£400) possibly up to £500 if i have to.

So if any one has done this them selves or has any advice, any feedback would be very useful

Thanks Will

You'll need an Intel CPU, check out insanelymac.com to see how to build a hackintosh. They're a great resource.
