Hi everyone!
First time builder here. Currently looking to put together my first build where I will be running Mac OS, Windows and Linux. My current build list is as follows:
- Intel i7 8700
- ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero
- EVGA GeForce GTX 1060, 6GB GDDR5
- Ballistix Sport LT 32 GB Kit (DDR4 2400 MT/s)
- Corsair Hydro Series High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler H60
- Corsair RMx Series, RM650x, 650 Watt power supply
- Fractal Design Define R5 Gaming Case
- Going to be using a few SSDs that I already have, and looking to get a few Crucial BX300 120 GB SSDs to run the operating systems
Most of these items are from the build guides for the Mac Pros. The question I have is how important is it to follow these guides for the memory? I see that all of them listed are DDR4 2400 MT/s. Would it be possible for me to use anything with a higher speed (like 3000 or 3200 MT/s)? Not sure if this recommendation is more for cutting costs, or if it is a specification for building a Hackintosh.
Any insights you guys could give me would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks everyone!
Anthony
