Hello.
I had a windows based desktop to work my music projects (ableton) but it's very slow and old so i need a new system.
I already own a macbook pro 13'' mid 2012 for my dj sets and recently i use it for music production (due to damaged desktop).
I fell in love with the Logic X so i want to build a new hackintosh.

The thing is that i don't have great knowledge of the hardware and i need your support here.
I chosen those parts:

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z-170 XP-SLI

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012AQGL4A/?tag=tonymacx86com-20

CPU: Core i5-6600K
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012M8M7TY/?tag=tonymacx86com-20

CPU Cooler: Artic Freezer I32

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0119SJ3L8/?tag=tonymacx86com-20

Power Supply: Corsair RMx Series 650x
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015YEIBJ8/?tag=tonymacx86com-20

RAM: Crucial 8GB DDR4-2133Mhz (X2)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MMLUYVU/?tag=tonymacx86com-20

HDD: Crucial MX300 275GB

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IAGSD5O/?tag=tonymacx86com-20

Case: CoolerMaster Silencio 452

I've chosen those parts 'cause i don't want the tower to be so noisy.
Also i've chosen this motherboard because it has 3 pci slot and i would like to add a firewire, a wifi/bluetooth in the near future and have one spare just in case i need to add something else.

What do you think about, are all the parts right?
Will it be good for Sierra?
I'm willing to get all the help here.
 
Parts seems good. I would add a GPU. I believe Intel 530 graphics till have that glitch in the upper left corner and have sleep/wake issues. Using a GPU helps eliminate this problem. GPU is also recommended in the Buyer's Guide.
 
Looks good but, you would want an available PCI-E X1 slot open for a Wifi/BT card. There really aren't any good ones that use the older PCI slots these days. Do you plan on using the HD530 integrated graphics ?
