I almost pulled the trigger on a 6700K build, but when I was about to buy I found out Kaby Lake support is imminent, so below is my updated first hackintosh build. 3 questions:

1. Is anything missing or wrong?
2. Can you recommend a good Gsync monitor for video editing and gaming?
3. How much does RAM speed affect performance? Should I be looking for faster RAM and if so, what?

I would say this.
1. Nothing is wrong or missing.
2. Video editing and gaming would be improved with G-Sync, but it is your choice to go with it, not mine.
3. Not sure...
 
Ok, I'm doing this!
 
AH gotcha. Yeah, it'd be nice to go AMD, more monitor choices with freesync too for better prices. But I'm fairly certain the build I've put together will be more than adequate for the editing and gaming I intend to do.
