Hi guys,
So I'm relatively new to Hackintosh world, but the thought of building one for my work is in my mind for years, and the announced price of the new Mac Pro made me tell it was the time to continue the journey on a Hackintosh rather than an official Mac...
I work on Logic pro with 100+ tracks projects, loads of vsti, samples, so I want a very powerful workstation. I edit a bit of video too and work with 2 monitors, and intend to get to a 3 monitors workflow in the future. I produce music for visual media, edit scores, mix music and audio. I have saved money for a few years for this so I have a reasonable amount to invest. This is what I came up to after a few readings and a little bit of research :
CASE_PHANTEKS Enthoo Pro M Tempered Glass
MOTHERBOARD_GIGABYTE Z390 Aorus ULTRA
CPU_INTEL i9 9900K
RAM_CRUCIAL Ballistix Sport LT Blanc 16GB DDR4-2400 UDIMM x2
GRAPHICS CARD_AMD ASUS Dual Radeon RX 580 OR AMD Sapphire Radeon RX580 Pulse
CPU COOLER_NOCTUA NH D15
PSU_bequiet! Straight Power 11 650W
FANS_NOCTUA NF A14
OS_10.13.4 (or 10.13.6 ?)
I am still wondering for the storage. I'd like a budget-friendly 1 TB boot SSD (M.2 if compatible), if you guys have any ideas..., and 2x 2TB SATA SSD for the samples, VST, etc... For the secondary disks I was thinking to SAMSUNG SSD 860 EVO 2TB.
Of course, silence is a very big deal for me, hence the NOCTUA fans (I was thinking about getting 3 of those little guys)
What is your opinion about my configuration ?
Thanks a lot for your help !
