Hey all. I'm taking forever to build my box. It's a replacement for my old iMac mid-2008 whose GPU died a few months ago. I used it for mainly Adobe Photoshop/Lightroom/CameraRaw and Excel (big sets, heavy duty, which is going to suck because Excel for Mac sucks anyway but oh well). I have an ASUS Z170-A ATX DDR4 board already. I'm looking for a CPU that doesn't break the bank and that will ensure maximum compatibility/ease of Hackintosh setup. Will I be happy with something as cheap as the Core i3 7100? Should I go i5? How cheap can I get while still having a satisfactory experience?
