Hey y'all,

I'm looking for general advice regarding this hackintosh I'm trying to put together. If you see anything to prepare/lookout for, for example I learned today that Sierra has issues when running off the iGPU HD530 without a dedicated gfx card. Or if you see a place to cut costs or replace a part with something that'll work easier OOB please let me know! The computer will be used for professional audio.

I'm really ready to pull the trigger so as long as y'all give me the okay I'm ready to go!

CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor
