Oh! The AeroCool's look really nice, seems like my taste of cases. The Core P5 was just cool, functionality wise, I don't think it'd be great for, probably not too quiet as well due to the openness of the case. I've been switching some stuff around and tweaking my build, here's my current one...

Ok then I'll give the NH-U14S a look into. It does seem to be more efficient compared to the D15 in the article you provided, cheaper as well. Seems like a good buy. Any other components you highly recommended like the cooler? Also I'm don't what type of case I want to use, I find the...

Hi kiiroaka, thanks for the few board suggestions. I was thinking I'd stick with the Noctua NH-D15 due to such positive reviews, and how quiet it seems to be running with 2 fans. I'm aware it'll be blocking the RAM ports for easy access to switching/adding RAM, but due to it's well designed...

Yea, the NVMe was exactly what I was looking for. I think I got confused by the Gigabyte site, because when I was looking at the Z170XP-SLI, it had NVMe listed in parenthesis by the M.2 slots...kind of confusing, but it's supposed 5x faster than the 6GB/s limit on SSD. I'm looking for PSU and...

I was also brought to the attention that the CPU cooler may be blocking some RAM slots, so it's making me rethink which mobo to use. Are there any recommended motherboards that come to mind. I was on another thread, and that person was using an ASRock Z170 Extreme 4 board. Edit: I just realized...

So it seems all these boards have just slightly difference designs and can affect our build greatly. Thanks for making me reconsider my mobo. I'll look into the ASRock boards.

Hey thanks for the heads up, I really haven't started looking at the details yet. I'm starting with an initial build and tweaking it as I do more research. Just by looking at the CPU specifications and the mobo, I can see there are plenty to tweak. I'll look into spacing! Mucho gracias!

I have a very similar build and I'm planning to do the same thing with installing macOS Sierra on my Hackintosh so I'm building it around mid-August (also due to moving complications). I originally went for the GB Gaming-5 motherboard as well, but after going through ******, people suggested...

Thanks in advance for this nice community in general! I'm building my first Hackintosh, my first customized PC really, but I've worked with tech. maintenance a lot and is also a programmer, so although still uncertain but I think I'll be able to pull it off (fingers crossed). I've read the...
