Hi,
I'm building new hackintosh with the specifications below.
I'm gonna buy the components below.
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H170N-WIFI ---- mATX
CPU : Intel Core i5-6600
Memory : Corsair 2x8GB DDR4 2400mhz OR Pacific Sun Memory DDR4 2133mhz 2x4GB
Power Supply(PSU) : Corsair 500W Modular Builder Series CX --- C9020059
Wifi Card: Dell DW1560 (BCM94352Z chip) m.2 WiFi/Bluetooth card
SSD : Samsung 256GB 850 Pro Series
and maybe i'll add 1 HDD later

I'm wondering if the PSU is good one for the following specs.

I will add 2GB Graphics Card later in the future, probably you know hd530 doesn't work perfectly at the moment. But some advice would be good about buying graphics card.

I'm building this computer mostly for
-Video and photo editing(photoshop,illustrator,after effects)
-Mostly iOS & Android App Development
-and playing games like age of empires 2 hd, CS:Go, League of Legends that doesn't require the best graphics card.


and also i found a guide here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capitan-desktop-guides/178197-guide-el-capitan-skylake-h170n-wifi.html

But still i'm not sure about PSU and which graphics card should i buy which won't be expensive and also good for what i do.
So, i'm fully open for suggestions(for fans or something else)
 
The PSU will be good for that build. For graphics get something like an Nvidia GTX 950 or 960
depending on how much budget is left for that.
 
thank you for the answer :) i'm going to buy components tomorrow. :beachball::headbang:
