Hi guys,
I Just found this community and I've been thinking about a lot lately about purchasing an Apple computer of some sort, but I once I found out about the hackintosh community, I figured this would be a great way to get a chance to try MacOS and maybe save $$$ by not having to actually purchase a mac. I'd love to get the OS working on my existing hardware but I'm not really sure how to tell if something is compatible or not.
MoBo:
MSI - Z170A GAMING M5 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
CPU:
Core i5 6600K (non-overclocked)
RAM:
Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory
SSD (for OS):
Crucial MX300 275GB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD - CT275MX300SSD1
Graphics:
Gigabyte - GeForce GTX 1070 8GB G1 Gaming Video Card
PowerSupply:
Cooler Master - Silent Pro Gold 800W 80+ Gold
I would love to get High Sierra working, but that may be wishful thinking given this mobo/cpu combo are a couple of years old. If High sierra is not possible, does any one know what's the latest version of MacOS I can support?
Thank you for any response
