Hi guys,
I'm based in the UK and I am currently putting together a new build and trying to get the best spec I can for around £1500/800 so it will have some legs to last a few years and be able to stay up to date for as long as possible. The machine won't be used for gaming but high-end audio work and some other heavy non-audio programs that are pretty hungry resource-wise for my other job. Looking for a nice solid compatible build out of the gate which won't need a load of leg work to get it to run. Naturally, I know there will be some as it is a Hackintosh but just want it to be quick on data transfer for large sample libraries, be able to take on quite a workload, run four screens and support outboard sound cards etc
Would love to gauge your thoughts / advice on the current components. Any red flags or recommendations for alternatives if I'm overcooking any areas and could cut back and improve other areas? All ideas are warmly welcome!
CPU: Intel Core i9-11900 (2.50GHZ, 16M Cache, up to 5.20 GHz) LGA1200 £295
GPU: PowerColor AMD Radeon RX 6600 Hellhound 8GB Graphics Card £219
MOBO: ASRock Z490 AQUA E-ATX Motherboard with PCIe 4.0 £299
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Black 64GB 6400MHz DDR5 Memory Kit £208
SSD: WD_Black SN850X 2TB M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 NVMe £114
PSU: Corsair RM850x 850 Watt Fully Modular 80+ Gold £147
CASE: Corsair 5000D Airflow Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX Case £145
COOLER: NZXT Kraken 240 All In One 240mm Intel/AMD CPU Water Cooler (2023 Edition) £109
(Will look to add extra fans inside the case too)
If I need to restructure the post or provide any further details please let me know and I'll modify accordingly.
Thanks
