I think the customization and versatility make a hackintosh the better system in the end. Need more ram? Just add more. Need a bigger SSD? Just replace the old one. Need a better GPU? etc etc.
I could purchase the new iMac, but hackintosh just offers that wonderful flexibility that Apple fails...
The build looks pretty good to me. Z390 Aorus Xtreme might cause you some problems, but I have seen succesful builds with Z390 Aorus Master so Xtreme might work with the same configurations. You can find a working Aorus Master build from r/hackintosh.
Unless you want to do some extreme...
Hi!
Im still waiting for my PC to arrive. I got a message from the company who built and tested it that they sent it and it should arrive 1.4.2019 via the post office.
Really took a long time but it should finally be here tomorrow. I will start setting up the hackintosh the moment the PC...
Hi!
The pc will arrive this friday (or next monday). I will start to configure the hackintosh as soon as I get my hands on it. Expect a status report next week! :)

I found a working build/guide with the same Aorus Master + I9-9900K - combo that I have in my build. The biggest problem with the Designare was the x16 pcie slot clearance with a dual tower CPU cooler. I...
Yeah I went with the non plus - version. I also changed the Z390 Designare to Z390 Aorus Master as it was only 10€ more expensive and according to the benchmarks and reviews, its simply better than the Designare.
This also means that I will miss out on the Thunderbolt 3.. but I think better OC...
Yeah I have already the KA6. I have enjoyed it and might one day upgrade, but for now im content with it.
I think I should definitely change the fans too. The Noctua fans seem to be of higher quality :) Thanks!
Yeah Im pretty sure that the cooling will be handled just fine by the fans that come with the case. The airflow should be quite good in the case because its Fractal Design and the build is quite modular. The extra fans cost pennies though, so if they dont create too much extra noise, I just...
I was thinking of using this one Finnish company to build it for me. My friends have also used their services and are happy with the results. I order the parts through them and they put everything together, update the BIOS + test that everything works (RAM etc). It costs about ~70€ and has a two...
Hey! Thank you all for the tips and help. Really appreciated! :)
I updated the build with your recommendations in mind and I think im still inside the budget. The system is a beast while costing more or less the same as a basic iMac variant (Finnish prices).
Here is the updated build and I...
Hi! First time builder here!
I have been scanning through the forums (****** and tonymacx86) to piece together a proper build for music production, adobe tools and general game development. Im willing to have a large(ish) budget for this build as its going to be my main workstation.
What...
