Hello reader i plan on building/buy a cheap hackingtosh that could handle mac os sierra i my self already have a radeon hd 7950 witch i am planning to use my budget is 250 us i prefer pre build systems but from all the posts i simply cant figure out what pre built pc can handle ma os sierra without as manny errors please help me if you cant understand what i am trying to say feel free to ask.
 
Most pre-builts don't have a large enough PSU to run the HD7950. You'd need to get a Dell with a 24 pin power connector on board and upgrade the PSU. Only certain models have that. Do some research to find out which ones do. The other thing to consider is the length of the graphics card. Not many pre-builts have that much room, you'd need a mini-tower size PC. A Dell Optiplex 780 MT might work. Don't know if the GPU would fit. You'd need to determine that first.

The HP 8000 series all use a proprietary PSU and they can't use a larger wattage ATX PSU replacement. You can do that with the Dell Optiplex 780 which is capable of the PSU replacement. You can run macOS on a Dell Optiplex 780. It's no different than the HP 8000 in that regard. Get a Mini-Tower version of the 780 that has at least a Quad core Q9400 CPU. Then it will run Sierra when you have a compatible graphics card.

Here's one on Ebay for under $80.00
