Hi there.. this is my first time building a hackintosh and I was wondering if I had the right ideas in terms of picking parts from the buyer's guide.
Sort of went with the CustoMac Pro, but instead of a 1060, I went with a 1070.

I already have a fully modular 850W PSU and a Mid-ATX tower case from a windows build a couple of years ago...
The question I had was around dual booting windows with it, as looking at the installation guide, AHCI mode for the SSD should be enabled in the BIOS, but I noticed that Windows has issues with that mode and will revert it back to IDE mode. The other option is that I could use the SSD from my current/old windows build and have windows on that drive, and OS X on the new one.
Any suggestions around the AHCI mode/dual SSDs, or any problems with the parts I listed above?
Thanks for your help!
