Hi all!
I have MBP already, I wanted to upgrade for latest model... but after weeks of considerations, I decided to go the Hackintosh way. As it's my first build I would like to ask if that build will be fine considering compatibility?
I will mostly be using this computer for web design work (2D, some personal video editing sometimes). So... Sketch, Photoshop, Illustrator.
Mainboard: I'm still trying to decide between these motherboards
GIGABYTE Z370 AORUS Gaming WiFi http://a.co/d/7gOsA65
Asrock Z370 Extreme4 http://a.co/d/5Rpgr3o
Asrock Z370 Taichi http://a.co/d/eoKV85B
Processor: Intel Core i7-8700K http://a.co/d/cMjDVtH
Cooling: I'm still trying to decide between these cooling solutions
Be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 http://a.co/d/bEsOQOh
or NZXT Kraken X62 280mm http://a.co/d/8iVt8cw
Graphics card: Sapphire RX 580 Pulse 8GB http://a.co/d/hssKahr / Already bought
RAM: Corsair LPX 32GB (2x16) 3000MHz http://a.co/d/42YGeOp
SSD1 (for system): Samsung 970 Evo 250GB M.2 NVME PCIe http://a.co/d/i3qIuuc
SSD2 (for storage): Crucial MX500 1TB http://a.co/d/8yKWI6g / Already bought
PSU: be quiet! Straight Power 11 650W http://a.co/d/9d1g5TS
WiFi/Bluetooth: Still trying to decide, but it depends on the motherboard
Fenvi T919 https://bit.ly/2PTsE8H
or WTXUP Broadcom BCM943602CS https://bit.ly/2AlCp55
or Broadcom BCM94352Z http://a.co/d/a3mUBfb
Couple of questions:
1) Should I choose a motherboard with built-in WLAN module and swap for BZM94352Z or without and choose PCIe card?
2) Any of these three listed motherboards will be fine? I'm going to do OC for let's say 4.8 GHz (from these three Asrock ones have better VRM's). I want to avoid complications and have it as best as possible out of the box.
3) Maybe you recommend another motherboard. If so, which should I choose due to maximum compatibility just out of the box? I don't want to spend days tweaking things if I can avoid that choosing the right motherboard.
Thanks in advance for the help!
