I wonder if others feel the way at0z feels.. With Apple tightening its OS with Yosemite, is it worth going the Hackintosh route anymore? And I hope mods don't kill me for asking the question--I understand the handwork everyone puts in! :headbang: But I believe it's a fair question to ask...

Thank you, BoomR. I really like the Asus X99 Deluxe setup a little better but from my little research, it seems that Gigabyte plays nicer with OS X (OoB). Therefore, I'm going to look into GA-X99-UD5 WIFI. Like I mentioned, my build is similar to the OP; I'm going with a i7-5820K and a GTX 970...

BoomR, I hope I'm not pressing my luck here cause you've been helpful but if you were going to advise someone who's building a very similar build as the OP, what mobo would you recommend?

Thank you for the reply!

Could this be a concern if I want to run Yosemite as my DD?

PNY Optima Series 240GB Solid State Drive - 2.5" Form Factor SSD, SATA III, 60,000 iOPS Read - SSD7SC240GOPT-RB TigerDirect ($80)and Best Buy ($89) have these on sale and I was wondering if anyone has had any good/bad experience with these drives?

Thanks George! I was starting to give up on this board! It seems no one has an opinion or any help to provide a fellow user. :banghead: I believe I'm going to stick with Asus as well but, I'm still open to hear from others.

which motherboard is recommended for a i7-5820K and GTX 970 video card?

Which would be the better mobo to run Yosemite, Gigabyte X99-UD4 or the Asus X99 Deluxe?

That's great to hear! Thank you again!

Thank you for the insight! I will continue to research and hopefully start ordering parts soon. Edit: I should be able to run Yosemite with this build, correct?

I don't believe I will be mobile but with the extra cash, I'll probably buy a cheaper macbook to have some portability. In reference to a monitor, I do have one but plan on upgrading to something better. I should I also mention that at work I use a Mac Pro (previous generation) at work. so...

I don't know much about PC hardware when it comes to building a PC so I thought the GTX 770 would be sufficient. I'm still new to video editing so the kind of rendering I'll be doing will be for work, it's your basic 720/1080p 30FPS footage but I will be getting more into Premiere as my career...

Bump. Would appreciate some help.

Build/Buying Advice I'm new to Hackintosh and I have some questions and concerns and I'm hoping some of you can help and perhaps point me in the right direction. One of my concerns is the hardware and durability. I am looking for a machine that can run Adobe Premiere smoothly and dual boot...
