Update for 3 years old Hackintosh Intel i7 4790K GA Z97X UD7 TH

[santi.ramirezv]

I have a hackintosh working on Sierra with this:

Mobo: GA Z97X UD7 TH
CPU: Intel i7 4790K
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-75E500B/AM)
Monitor: Samsung 28-Inch Ultra High Definition LED Monitor (U28D590D)
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Tactical 32GB Kit (8GBx4) DDR3
Graphics: Gigabyte GTX 1050 Ti Windforce OC 4GB GDDR5 128-bit PCI-E Graphic Card
Power: Corsair RM Series 650 Watt ATX/EPS 80PLUS Gold-Certified Power Supply - CP-9020054-NA RM650
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan

I'd like to upgrade my hardware. Specially my Mobo. I'm interested in editing 4k video as it is the only thing that I really need.

Is it a new version of Mobo and maybe CPU that can work with the rest of my stuff?

Thanks in advance for the advices!

You could simply overclock the CPU you've already got and add an RX580 and you could edit 4K video. Especially if you work with FCP X.

Yes it could be. But I had a lot of trouble with this hackintosh years ago. So upgrading to High Sierra could be a painful task and also my CPU never got to use the 4 cores, just two of them. I really try a lot of things and never got it worked at full power. The thing is I dont want that Mobo anymore. And I'm also willing to buy a new CPU if it is necessary.

Have a look at this Golden Build:
