After an 8-year hiatus, my friends convinced me to start playing World of Warcraft again. So what better reason to experiment with a Hackintosh than now? I've read through several guides and build threads on this site and I'd love the community's help with hardware recommendations because I've never built a PC (*gasp*). A few of my requirements:
CPU: i7-6700K
CPU Cooler: Corsair H60
Graphics: MSI GAMING X GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
Motherboard: GA-Z170N-Gaming 5
WiFi/BT: Broadcom BCM94352Z M.2 card
Memory: 16 GB Patriot Viper Elite PVE416G320C6KRD (2 x 8 GB)
Storage: SanDisk 240 GB SSD
Case: Silverstone SG13
Power Supply: Silverstone 500W
Monitor: TBD
I appreciate your help!
- 60 fps+ @ 2560x1440, highest detail settings
- Relatively quiet: When I run WoW on my 2014 MacBook Pro, the fans immediately spin up to full speed - BAD!
- Relatively small form factor: mini or micro ATX, minimal expandability to another SSD later
- All the standard macOS amenities: Ethernet, Bluetooth, WiFi, AirDrop, iMessage, Handoff, Continuity, etc.
- Ease of setup and maintenance, so let's go with proven components
- Budget: approx. $1000
CPU: i7-6700K
CPU Cooler: Corsair H60
Graphics: MSI GAMING X GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
Motherboard: GA-Z170N-Gaming 5
