Hi all,
I've been super interested in hackintosh building for years now and am finally ready to dive in! As a first time builder I would so appreciate any advice regarding the selection of parts, the build and installation however my main concern is choosing the right build for the power I need.
I work as a professional video editor using Premier Pro, After Effects and Photoshop (very occasionally FCP) and recently a lot of 4K even up to 8K footage is coming through my workflow so I'm needing to upgrade asap.
My current system is an iMac 2010 with 2.93 GHz Intel Core i7 processor, ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024 MB graphics card and only 8GB memory. I'm absolutely squeezing the life out of this and I know that obviously any build I go for will be an insane improvement. However, I'm really hoping to future proof the build as much as possible and I'd love to use the hackintosh for gaming as well as I really miss desktop gaming.
I'm currently looking at the CustoMac Budget ATX or the CustoMac Pro but am I going for builds way too beefy for what I need? What else do I really need to consider when selecting a build??
Any advice is really appreciated!!
Thanks all!
