Hello,
I'm going to be building a mid range PC for audio engineering. I'm at a phase where I want to start taking things more seriously than a MacBook Air can offer. I'm also a casual gamer and will do some video editing and want my computer to stack up well in both regards, without increasing the price by an insane amount. I want the reliability of macOS, and aggregate recording interfaces (most importantly). I plan to expand to over 35 inputs after this so you can see how processing power will be very quickly required.
I did research on the parts that are compatible for a hackintosh on this site and made a build that was compatible on PC Part Picker as well. I was told by a local computer person that hackintoshs are relatively simple to do thanks to recent innovation/changes. I'm quite good with computers and am familiar with both Windows and Apple software. Most importantly I'm eager to learn.
I plan to approach this in a couple months as plans are I will be more financially stable and able to make the investment. In the meantime I will be doing my research on the installation process. I don't want to sound like I'm asking someone to do the work for me, I've done some research. I'm mostly trying to avoid the whole Dunning-Kruger end of things, especially with an >$2000 investment.
If you have familiarity with a different component in a similar price range that will give me better results, or if you have a cheaper component that will give similar results please let me know as I really want to get the most for my money.
Thank you so much for your time and have a wonderful day/night,
Robie Hillier
