Hi guys,
I am building a hackintosh for my sister, I am mostly a windows build guy so i don't know the intricacies of Mac and comparability issues surrounding hardware (even though it is sound for windows)
Here is my purposed build:
CPU: Intel Core i7 6800K Broadwell-E 3.4GHz 15MB No HSF Retail Box $669
GPU: Galax GeForce GTX970 Gamer OC Mini 4GB GDDR5 $419 (WITH AN FUTURE OPTION OF GTX 1080 $1129)
RAM: Corsair 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 2400MHz Vengeance LPX $216
PSU: Silverstone SFX SX600-G 600W $165
CASE: Ncase M1 V5 $250
SSD: Intel SSD 540 Series M.2 80mm 1TB $449
MOBO: ASRock X99E-ITX/AC LGA2011-3 MINI-ITX $337
CPU COOLER: Noctua NH-L9i Low Profile Intel CPU Cooler $54
OS: OSX El Capitan preferred (or Yosemite)
Total $2,559
All prices are in AUD
The software she will be using mostly will be ArchiCAD19, Adobe creative suite, AutoCAD
As she is focused on CAD style programs, I decided to use an 6 core CPU rather than a Z170 platform I7 6700k (also future proofing)
Any advice or tips would be excellent
