Broke College Student Interested in Hackintoshing(is that a word?)

As the title implies, I'm a broke CS undergrad who wants to build his own Hackintosh that'll work post install with almost no issues. While I don't mind saving up to $1000 for it, I would rather not. If you guys can help with a build, that'll be awesome! :)

Also, GPU would be great to have since I'm interested in developing iOS apps
