Hey bombardier, This was your first hackintosh build you said right? And what about for a first time building a computer? I'm just curious what your thoughts are now that the machine has been up and running for a little while. Was there as much tinkering as you had first thought? Once you get...

Alright, I've updated my component list once again. I think I'm going to go the Hero route for the mobo :) I have some more questions about monitors and the case. That LG is nice, but I'm a little concerned about scaling options in different programs. It seems you can configure the display to...

Hoping we see an update soon. I'm looking to go with a gtx 1060 for my build.

Very nice, detailed build! Thanks for sharing this! As I mentioned in JC's build post, I think I'm likely to follow suit and go the hero route as well! Regarding the cooling, you mentioned the coolermaster 240 being overkill... I'm sure it does a fantastic job at cooling your case as you say...

Haha, that darn Stork! Well heck, these last few posts have really helped clear the mud when it comes to my decision (and anxiety) in choosing a motherboard. Thanks guys - I think I might end up joining the hero club! Ah, ok thanks for clearing that up.

Fantastic. With every post I read, you guys are really helping make this first time builder a heck of a lot more confident :) The maximus IX hero has a ton of USB ports compared to a lot of other mobos. Just out of curiosity, are you using most of these, or are there other reasons why this...

Hey JCMunsonII, just wanted to say you have a great build. I've really enjoyed reading all the details of your build (not to mention many of the other great user builds on this forum). I have a question for you: As I prepare to build my first hackintosh, I'm looking at very similar specs...

Well, I'm pretty sure I'll be sticking with my current USB Scarlett Focusrite 2i2 interface for a good while - but perhaps it wouldn't hurt to still have the option if a few years down the road I change my mind and get different hardware... I presume either the UD3 or UD5 are pretty similar in...

Alright, I updated the component list with a corsair 750x. That should be plenty for music production using a single monitor. I started another thread the other day asking about differences between video cards, specifically differences between a given series (such as the GTX 1060). I now have a...

Thanks for the response pastrychef - glad to know there are options when it comes to picking gpu's. I'm still probably a month away from any purchase so I hope we get a driver update for the 1060, otherwise I may end up choosing a different gpu.

Hey guys, So as the title states, I'm looking to understand a little more about graphics cards, and in particular the difference between any given series. For example, I have decided on a GeForce GTX 1060 6GB for my first hackintosh build. Yet when I search Amazon or PC Part Picker there are...

Thanks for the replies guys. I still have some more questions as I narrow down the parts for my build :) As I'm still learning here, I would like to understand the current issue around current kaby lake cpu's. AFAIK it requires spoofing in order to work. Is this simply just another step to add...

Tommy, another zero here. Hoping to become a hero like yourself soon enough :p I also am looking to build a very similar machine (kaby lake, gtx 1060, etc.) - I have made a thread in this forum. I also found your question and answer portion very informative. I often am searching on multiple...

trs96 - Yeah I think considering we're in 2017 a 4k monitor would be nice. I added it to my updated build list. Upgrading SSD in current iMac seems like quite a task... might just leave it as is. I'm currently running El Capitan on my iMac. I'm confident that almost all plugins I have will work...

Hey guys! Long time lurker of this site but decided it's finally time to take action! I am finally ready (after reading many success stories) to take on the task of building my first ever computer! As the title states, I've never built a computer before so I'm looking for some advice on my...
