I'm sick of slow rendering while editing on my Macbook Pro, so I'll be joining the Hackintosh club i guess!

I've been following the buyers guide, but i've found some parts that's not listed in there.
Are these going to work with OS X anyway, or do i have to follow that list strictly?
Does everything fit and work together? Is the PSU enough?

CPU - Intel Core I7 6700k Processor 4 GHz 8m Cache LGA1151

RAM - Crucial 32gb (2x16gb) DDR4 2133

PCB - Gigabyte GA-Z170X-ULTRA GAMING

GPU - ASUS GeForce GTX1070 Strix 8GB

SSD - Samsung 750 EVO 500gb SSD

PSU - GameMax GM800 ATX PSU 800w Modular APFC 85 Plus

Chassi not decided yet..
Anything else i should think of?

Thanks a lot guys!
 
Replace the GTX 1070 with either a 970 or 980. There are no Nvidia Web drivers for the Pascal cards. Won't work with macOS.
Not sure who makes your GameMax PSU but I would go with something higher quality rated 80+ Gold. 650 W should be plenty.
