Hi all.
Finally I have some time and resources to build a hackintosh as my previous attempts to install MacOS on my 8 years old PC failed. I already spent some time reading buyer's guide and this forum (thanks guys for this great forum and sharing your experience and knowledge ) and drafted first version of future setup. I plan to have both MacOS and Windows (for casual gaming) on this machine. Before buying I would appreciate if someone can check the build and give some feedback and warn in case of any potential pain in the ...
PS: Links are to web in Czech, hope this won't be an issue.
ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-I GAMING (Link) - I picked this MB because of Mini ITX format, 2 M.2 slots (for storage and BT) and USB-C port, inspired by pastrychef's Golden build
Intel Core i5-9600K (Link) - confirmed on Buyer's guide
2 x Crucial 16GB DDR4 3000MHz CL16 Ballistix Sport LT Dual Ranked Grey (Link) - I tried to follow the Buyer's guide, but not 100% sure and will be very thankful for any advice.
SAPPHIRE PULSE Radeon RX 580 OC 8G (Link) - First I picked 1060 but after reading forums went to this GPU as most compatible card for now.
Samsung 970 EVO 1TB (Link) - Picked this one due to great write speed (almost like 970 PRO), confirmed on Buyer's guide.
Corsair RM650x (2018) (Link) - I picked this one according to Buyer's guide.
Fractal Design Define Nano S Window (Link) - This one I liked the most from all Mini ITX format cases.
BCM94360CS2 (Link) M.2 card for full Bluetooth features support
As mentioned before feedback is very welcome. Thanks and hope this thread will be helpful for other newbies.
