This past year i went traveling around the world with my 15' Macbook Pro, month 9 of traveling my motherboard fried. I am a photographer, and kinda rely on computers to do my editing and file management.
I went home 2 months later, and had it looked at. It was going to cost me $700+ to fix. So this is why i am here. To build hackintosh for myself. I have a budget of $1000 (cdn) to build a machine that can get me started up, once i get some photo gigs in I will look into upgrading.
Here is my proposed list of components:
ASUS Z97 A
Intel Core i5-4570
Crucial Ballistix Sport XT (8 gig)
120gb EVO SSD
2TB Seagate Barracuda (i have a 5TB NAS on my network)
Corsair 550 Watt
Like i mentioned above this is a budget build, and with out the case this comes to a total of $839 (w/o shipping) according to amazon.ca
Does anyone have any recommendations, concerns or tips about this proposed components list? I am curious if anyone is familiar with a build like this and if there could be any foresee able headaches. Perhaps switching some components out to make installation easier. I am open to any and all critiques.
