I'm from the shallow end of the tech gene pool and looking for advice on upgrading my second Hackintosh, a GA-Z97X-UD5H/i7-4790k/GTX-760 I've been using for FCPX video editing for two years. It's starting to glitch (occasional slowness, random freezes) and I need to upgrade from Yosemite to Sierra anyway to install FCPX 10.3. After much reading in forums it seems I should also switch the GPU to a Radeon 280, 280x, RX 4XX or (?) for better Open CL performance. I also have the option to build with a recently-acquired PC, ASUS x99a/i7-5820k/GTX-770. I'm hoping for full functionality, high performance and as little technical challenge as possible. Any suggestions on which way to go and which GPU? Thanks in advance.
