Z87X-D3H, i7 4771...Advice needed , Compatibility, Noise, Photography
Hi everybody,
First i wish to thanks the all community for all the precious informations on this site and forum! I want to build my first Hackintosh i have been intrested from hackintosh a few time ago but always made the easiest fast but expensive choice to buy an apple product.
Because of my professional photography work i want a relatively solid machine but also on a low budget. 10 years ago i have been building a few PC's but it's long time ago and i am not anymore that familiar with it, that's why i will be happy of advice from you.
The noise is quiet a preoccupation for me too, because i am leaving with my girlfriend in a big colocation and the computer will be in our room ( so i would like it for me and her really quiet) but not on an extremeway and not too expensive.
I am living in switzerland so i'll post links from swiss merchants.
My first draft :
