New hackintosh (X99, I7 6800K, GTX970, 32gb DDR4 2400Mhz)

[Threatnique]

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)



Did you get this build working ??

I built just now similar configuration:
MDB Gigabyte X99 Gaming5P rev1.0
CPU i7 6800K
RAM Corsair vengeance 32GB 2400
GPU Asus strix gtx 970
OS 10.11.6

I have strange problem. Audio and video are out of sync from any application: Premiere, FCPX, Youtube (safari), VLC, QT player...even I used usb lexicon alpha or blackmagic intensity. I‘m desperate

The manufacturer shouldn't matter. I've never heard of any DDR4 RAM not being compatible as long as the motherboard supports it. I use two 16 GB 3200 MHz DDR4 from G.Skill (F4-3200C14-16GTZ)
