PRIME H270-PRO and "Building a CustoMac: Buyer's Guide August 2017"

[vklimenkoplayfo]

I was interested in this motherboard and in new audio chip 1220, which specified here:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/buyersguide/august/2017/

However it's wrong, because from official site we have 887

Which I don't like..

Sorry about the typo. We'll fix it shortly.

Here's an affordable H270 motherboard that does have the better ALC1220.

Thanks for the suggestion, yes I'm looking for affordable motherboard with:

• ALC1220
• DisplayPort

Well, here is config I've found best fit for myself(except motherboard):

• Intel Core i7-7700
• Asus Prime H270-Pro
• Kingston DDR4-2400 8192MB x2, 16Gb
• Samsung 960 Evo 250GB M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 3D V-NAND

I'm planning to use 630 graphics for 4K(3840x2160) with 23.8" Dell P2415Q, I'm not sure if it will work via HDMI.
I want to get a retina resolution option for this monitor finally.

Edit: I prefer better sound codec and quality, but as compromise I could probably drop my targeting to 1220 and chose some with ALC892, but really not 887... As I remember on all my hackintosh's it's never worked after MultiBeast post install, every time some fixes required.

I've updated the board in the guide. Thanks for the heads up!
