Hi all,
My Mac - an actual Apple iMac - just finally cracked it at me and is completely broke down and the moment, and I've been wanting to upgrade for quite a while. I've always been frustrated at Apple's lack of expandability without willingness to lay down over four grand so I've decided to embark on building my first PC, a Hackintosh.
I know extremely little about building any kind of PC at all, so it's going to be a learning process during the same time so please bear with me if possible. I've constructed a PC mainly from the Buyer's Guide. I think it's all compatible in regards to being a working PC, however I have no idea whether it will be able to run a DAW well, audio wise. I'll just be using a USB audio interface, a Fast Track Pro.
In a perfect world, I would have both OS X and Windows running on the two SSDs separately and using the other HDD for storage of samples.
Here are the parts:
Intel Core i7-6700K Processor
Corsair H60 Liquid CPU Cooler
Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 5 Motherboard
Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory
EVGA GeForce GTX 950 2GB Superclocked+ ACX 2.0 Video Card
Network Adapters:
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Corsair RM 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
Corsair Carbide Series 300R Windowed ATX Mid Tower Case
Thanks in advance,
Kedarchie
