Hey everyone!
I have been a Mac user for almost 7 years now and i'm planning to replace my iMac with a hackintosh since I want better performance (not that the iMac is so bad).
After spending a couple of hours on this forum, I have put together a build list shown below. After using a Mac for almost 7 years, I have become quite used to that everything 'just works'. Therefore I'm hoping that this build will work well and not give me any surprises such as sound, magic keyboard, iMessage (I know this probably require some tweaking), handoff and continuity not working.
Any suggestions/improvements to this build?
Thanks!
