Hey guys,
My MacBook is on its way out and I've been looking into building a Hackintosh for video editing. I know Skylake testing is still ongoing, but since all the programs/apps I use are multiplatform and I have a deal to get the 6700K for less than a 4790K it doesn't make a ton of sense to go for the Haswell option.
I plan on running Win10 on the hardware until there is full Skylake compatibility, as OSX is my platform of choice.
I was looking at the Gigabyte Z170 Gaming 5 as it seems to be the Z170 version of the Gigabyte board recommended on the Buyer's Guide, and a set of standard Crucial DDR4 32GB memory because I've seen people have had success with that in X99 builds.
I know it's all speculation at this point, but what hardware do you guys think would stand the best chance of being hackintosh compatible in the future? Thanks in advance!
