Hello!
I've been lurking for a while and after beeing a MacBook Pro user for ten years and being very interested in PC building and tech in general, I've decided to take the plunge and build my very first Hackintosh-PC! I've been watching a lot of PC builders on Youtube and am generally pretty handy with building tech (built a Prusa i3 Mk3S and handwired a mechanical Keyboard), so I don't think I will have any problems when actually building the thing, but I am very new to picking parts and don't know if I have gravely overlooked something important in my selection of parts!
I am a Game Engineering Student entering my Masters program next year and want to use the PC for both programming/3D-design for 3D-printing/rendering stuff/virtualization and also some gaming, so I want to build a SFF high-end workstation, so the build is centred around a Ryzen 9 3900X and an RX 5700 XT in a Louqe Ghost S1-style 3D-printed case.
I have all the components already sourced and am looking at around 1700€ in total, is there anything I have missed? Especially the wifi-card stuff, i guess the mainboard's onboard wifi isn't supported...
CPU | AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12x 3.80GHz So.AM4 BOX |
---|---|
GPU | 8GB Gigabyte Radeon RX 5700 XT GAMING OC 8G w/PCIe Riser Cable |
Mainboard | Gigabyte X570 I Aorus Pro WIFI AMD X570 So.AM4 Dual Channel DDR4 Mini-ITX Retail |
PSU | be quiet! SFX-L Power 600W 80+ Gold |
CPU-Cooling | EKL Alpenföhn Black Ridge w/ additional Noctua Fans |
//alternative CPU-Cooling | NZXT Kraken X52 V2 AIO |
RAM | 32GB DDR4 3200MHz (whatever is good and available, maybe Corsair Vengeance LPX) |
SSD | 512GB Samsung m.2 2280 SSD |
Wifi+Bluetooth-Card | Broadcom BCM94352Z NGFF m2 802. 11ac Wifi BT 4.0 867M |
I think all in all this looks pretty good and everything should work nicely :) also I am still using my 2016 15" MBP for mobile computing/whatever doesn't work with hackintosh!
(I know, Ryzen under hackintosh isn't the most stable/well supported, but for a couple of applications/programming stuff I need the higher number of cores/threads, also the i9 9900k is almost as expensive but only 8 cores... but try to change my mind!)
