Hi guys! Big Boss here
@kgp already knows me from another thread and he already answered (kind of) my questions, but I wanna share some thoughts with you. I'm a total newbie about Hackintoshes and thinking about making the jump from a real Mac (iMac 5K Late 2015) to a X299 or Z370 Hackintosh. This new machine will not do any heavy work, since I use my computer just for light productivity (Office, Mail, Browser, Youtube etc. ) but I am a tech enthusiast, so I want the best config I can afford even if I know I will never truly use all that power. My actual plans are (in red my actual doubts):
X299 mobo (Gigabyte or ASUS???) - Z370 mobo (Gigabyte or ASUS???)
Core i7 7820X - Core i7 8700K
280mm Aio Liquid Cooler - 280mm Aio Liquid Cooler
RX 580 or Vega 64? Brand with 3x DP?? - RX 580 or Vega 64? Brand with 3x DP??
32GB DDR4 2666Mhz
(Crucial??) - 32GB DDR4 2666Mhz Crucial
(Crucial??)
Samsung 970 Pro 512GB APFS - Samsung 970 Pro 512GB APFS
750W PSU - 750W PSU
Broadcom WiFi + BT Adapter - Broadcom WiFi + BT Adapter
My most important concern is about compatibility and issues, since I've not bought anything at this time I'm looking for the most hassle free components.
Please... share your thoughts with general comments about my post and, in particular, help me choose the best components for my new hassle free and total functioning (Sleep/Wake, Audio, USB speed, 3 x DP 4K @ 60Hz monitors) build of dreams!
I love
the work you've done here, I never thought of abandoning a real Mac for a Hackintosh before discovering this forum and thread.
