Build plan for a 2019 editing Hackintosh

Hi there,

​

after some years of using only my MBP I’m inclined to built a Hackintosh again. Mainly for 1080 and 4K editing with Adobe Premiere CC, After Effects CC and DaVinci Resolve.

​

Here we go:

​

• CPU: Intel Core i9-9900K

alternative: Intel Core i7 8700K 

​

• Mainboard: ASUS WS Z390 PRO

alternative: ASUS Z390-A 

​

• Grahic card: EVGA GTX 1080 Ti

alternative: GTX 1080 or 1070 

​

• RAM: 32GB RAM - 2x16GB Ballistix Elite (DDR4, 3200 MT/s, PC4-25600, DRx8, DIMM, 288-Pin)

alternative: Corsair Vengeance LPX (DDR4 3200 MHz C16 XMP 2.0) 

​

• extra PCI-E card: ASUS ThunderboltEX 3

​

• SSD: two 970 PRO 1TB NVMe M.2

alternative: Samsung 970 EVO 1TB alternative: Crucial MX500 1TB SATA III SSD 

​

• Power adapter: Corsair RM850X

​

• Cooling: Asus Ryujin 360 Cooler

​

• Casing: Define R6 Gunmetal USB-C

​

The questions I’ve been asking myself (and now asking you):

• do these hardware components fit together well and make sense, like not wasting enormous money on one part and creating a bottleneck with another part, making the financial effort on part 1 useless.

• do these hardware components work well and more or less OOTB with macOS?

• what would be the best OS for this setup or should I just go with the latest?

• would it be better to use an AMD graphics card like the RX580 with High Sierra and Mojave?

(the benchmark tests for Windows 10 + Premiere CC and especially DaVinci Resolve definitely say no!)

• is it possible to use one SSD with two partitions (macOS and Windows 10) or would it be better to use seperate drives?

​

Any help very much appreciated!

​

Thanks a lot guys!

Cheers!
