hi people,
I am totally noob about building hackintosh thing, so i hope that you guys in this forum can help&give me some advice.
I plan to upgrade my late 2013 15’ MBP me664 because it is feel kinda slow now, so i think i should get a big leap of upgrade. Consodering original trash bin mac pro really expensive, i plan to build a custom hackin’ one.
My usage just for record,compose&mixing.
First of all now i still use Apogee Ensemble thunderbolt interface to my MBP for record & DA conversion and i plan not to replace it if later i run a custoMac.
For hardware things this is my list:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD5 TH (because it has a build in Thunderbolt 3,maybe this board’s thunderbolt3 are intel certified too?)
CPU: intel i7 7700K
RAM: GSKILL TRIDENT Z DDR4 64gb (4x16) PC3466
HDD: Samsung 960 EVO NVMe M2 500gb (for OS,DAW,plugins&VstI installation) & 1 Samsung 850 EVO 4TB (for my sound sample library & project files)
VGA: maybe i will use on board since i totally don’t working video thing and graphics for DAW,plugins&vst instrument seems doesn’t need high horse power appeture.
PSU: Corsair RM650x
CPU cooler: Corsair H110 water cooling
Case: Corsair Carbide 300R
Audio interface: Apogee Ensemble thunderbolt (it has thunderbolt 2 data transfer,i own and use it for now,hopefully to use it with custoMac too)
Accessories: Startech thunderbolt 3 to thunderbolt 2 adapter (i read on this forum that it has more success conversion for thunderbolt 3 to thunderbolt 2 external device)
DAW: Presonus Studio One Professional 3.5.2 (this is i’m using now and want to use it later)
OS: Please advise me which version will run smooth for music production.
From what i read on this forum, our friend,Kitch, have a trouble when updating his controller firmware, this is his thread:

I hope from my buying advice thread, we can also help Kitch, because me & him was at same audio interface system.
Please comment & i will be thankfull for your advise guys.
Regards,
Bobby
