I'm currently looking at upgrading to either a new iMac (27" when released) or build a Hackintosh with a similar spec. I've looked into the details I'd like to go for and to be honest it's better than the new iMac's for around the same price. What I'd like is some advice on which would be best to go for. The Hackintosh I'm looking would have a i7 3770k processor, whereas the iMac only has an i5 3.2GHz. I know there'll be a difference in performance, but would it that noticeable? I mainly use my desktop for Adobe apps, web and the occasional game on a Windows partition. Not sure if there would be a massive performance difference getting a Hackintosh? The main thing which is putting me off is the fact it doesn't look like an Apple. I guess the screen could be an Apple Display, but this would add more to the price.
Any help would be great, thanks!
