Hey everyone, this is my first time building a hackintosh. Still a little rough with the terminology, but I'm getting there.
This machine will be used for audio and post production (light video editing) a little gaming. Need my FPS fix. Looking to use this machine mostly with Pro Tools and Reaper and the Adobe suite. Looking to build a custom mac pro, but if you feel my needs don't warrant the cost, feel free to speak up.
Here's my current list
feel free to advise or modify parts on it
Mobo: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012N6ESTC/?tag=tonymacx86com-20
Case: I'm unsure
CPU: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012M8LXQW/?tag=tonymacx86com-20
Cooler: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A0HZMGA/?tag=tonymacx86com-20
PSU: EVGA 700 B1
GPU: Sapphire HD 7950 (Already own)
Alternative GPU: 1 or 2 XFX RADEON Double D R9 280X 1000MHz BOOST
RAM: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B4F3MNQ/?tag=tonymacx86com-20
HDD: El Capitan https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OBRE5UE/?tag=tonymacx86com-20
HDD: Windows 10 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OBRE5UE/?tag=tonymacx86com-20
HDD: HGST 7200 Sata3 6gb/s X3 for library storage and backups
Things I own, I'm hoping will work
Audio: Delta 1010 http://www.m-audio.com/products/view/delta-1010
Monitor: Dell U2412M
OWC Thunder Bolt 2: https://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other World Computing/TB2DOCK12P/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=shoppingengine&utm_campaign=googlebase&gclid=CjwKEAiA79zDBRCgyf2FgeiY-CESJABzr0BM6Tj55WDyp1K221rnlKeel5t6RLOW8QAIcGWMBlRn2xoCYO_w_wcB
Mouse/Keyboard (basic)
Would Love
A way to get the Thunderbolt dock 2 to work.
Wouldn't mind using bluetooth mouse and keyboard
I'm open to suggestions!
