Your components should be fine. I would wait for the next macOS to buy a graphics adapter, since we don't know which ones will be supported by Apple. It's likely, however, that Nvidia will release drivers for the GTX 1070/1080 before then; but I would still wait since we don't know for certain.

Was the build successful? Which problems do you have? I want to build me the same one like you

Hi,
The CustoMac works fine, i have no real problems.

One thing more : i can't change brightness on the key board, my screen is connecting to CustoMac with HDMI cable

You can see the Geekbench to compare my CustoMac to my iMac 27" 4k late 2015

Same perf for 3 times less price but the retina screen is wonderful!

Hi,

thanks for the answer. I am going to build a hackintosh my first time so do you have some tips or things which i should pay? I mean for example difficult situations which a laymann could have problems?

?

Are you saying that the keyboard key brightness on your backlit keyboard doesn't work, or that when you depress the brightness key on the keyboard it doesn't dim the display? Apple Aluminium (F1, F2) keyboard?

 

[Jaicruvoir]

key F1 and F2 no effect on the brightness but, sound, volume and all other key are working

 

[vorhangk]

Is the Standby mode working?

 

[Jaicruvoir]

I never test it, i use "sleep" mode
