Hi, folks!
Long story short: last year I had to retire my good old Macbook and decided to assemble a PC to have powerful and upgradeable specs at affordable prices.
After months using Windows, it happens that I definitely hate it and I've decided to try hackintosh. I'm already familiar to OpencCore Legacy Patcher for old Macs, but I'm a total newbie with non-Apple hardware - and I'd love to have some advice.
Here are my current specs:
- CPU: i5 13600K
- Mobo: Rog Strix B760-A Wifi D4
- RAM: 2X16GB 3600Mhz Ripjaws V
- SSD: I intend to buy WD Black 850 exclusively for Hackintosh (current Crucial P5+ will remain with Win11)
Some additional info:
- I would like to run Sonoma + Win11 on dual boot (on separate SSDs).
- I would like to use macOS as my main system, and Windows as a backup.
- I don't play games, but use the PC a lot for photography editing and graphic softwares (such as Adobe Lightroom Classic and Photoshop).
- I already know that my UHD 770 iGPU won't work.
Here are my questions:
- As far as I've researched, Wifi (Intel) and audio (Realtek ALC4080) should work well, is that right? (I still haven't discovered Bluetooth specifications, and what to expect about Intel 2.5 Ethernet)
- Should I expect any perceivable downside on hardware performance (or specific misfunctionings and malfunctionings) and overall system stability in comparison with Win11?
- After researching for compatible GPUs, it seems that RX 580 and RX 6600 are good options, but I'm still looking for the best cost/benefit. As I don't play games, would I perceive much of a difference with one over another? Any additional recommendations on cheaper options?
- I'm aware that hackintosh can be tricky, but I enjoy this kind of project and would really like to try it. Is there anything that I'm missing and I should know before spending money SSD+GPU?
Thanks in advance!
