Hi all!
first I have to say I am all new to this. It ll be my first try for a hackintosh - I am a graphic designer and I cant work on windows on my home-workstation anymore! I read the necessary guides and a tons more!
My build:
Mobo: MSI Z97-G43 PC Mate (7816-058R)
Graphic: Asus Radeon R 270x 2GB
Ram: 2x Kingston 8GB 1866Mhz DDR3 CL10 HyperX Fury Black Series
CPU: Intel i5 4590 QuadCore 3,3Ghz
SSD: Samsung SSD 850 EVO 120GB (for OS and programs only)
I got several questions about the installation - I searched the forum but couldnt find posts that would answer my questions....
1.
I wanted to install YOSEMITE because i thougth EL CAPITAN might makes problems or is still buggy. Anyway I cant download Yosemite in the app store (from my macbook pro retina display) only el capitan. So i have to go with el capitan right?
2.
I read all the guides and it seams not to be that hard, at least I thought first...
I thought i could buy Snow Leopard via download.. but couldnt find anything so i have to buy in store(?).
Can i download elcapitan on the macbook and start the installation process even i didnt buy snow leopard for my new pc yet? (i mean may i change (or add the product) (to) the apple id later??)
3.
Does somebody with maybe the same (or close) hardware can give me some tipps for the installation?
4.
Do i need a DSDT or kext? I really dont have any clue about this... even i read a lot of post/threads and so on... (maybe its because my english (at least for things about computers), aint that well.)
5.
and everything else you think I need to know about this specs for OS X (drivers...)
If somebody is that nice and helps me here - i'd be so happy!!!!!!
