SSD and first hackintosh questions

Hi everyone, I’ve recently realised that building a hackintosh is something I will probably need to do soon. I’m a DJ and music producer who as of right now primarily uses my a1708 macbook for Logic Pro and rekordbox, however I would also like to get in to 3D modeling in blender (still not sure if this is the best option for what I’m looking for) and video editing in premiere pro for logos and visuals.

8GB of RAM has been plaguing me with system overload messages in Logic for a while now, and recently it seems I spend more time dealing with those error boxes than actually producing anything. I use vital or serum on almost every track excluding vocals and pride myself on making all my sounds and presets for everything from drums to dub sirens to grand piano from scratch, and my projects can get very bloated with tracks and be very demanding on my hardware, which is why I feel that hackintosh is likely the best path for me forward.

My first question may be a stupid one so I apologise but would still appreciate a nudge in the right direction.

In the a1708 macbook pro I’m using right now, I’ve put in a 2TB crucial P2 2280 (yes it’s janky just ignore that) and I was wondering if I could take it out and use it in my desktop build, if there were any advantages/disadvantages/problems I could expect to face in doing so, or if it would be better to leave it in my macbook and buy a new SSD for my build (I’m thinking a 4tb wd_black sn850x), then using the backup I have on an external SSD to transfer my data.

My second question is just whether anything in my current parts list is going to give me any issues, or if any other DJs/producers/editors who use hackintosh have better suggestions for parts better suited to my goals.

My parts list as of now is as follows

  1. Case: Lian Li O11 Vision
  2. Motherboard: Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Pro X
  3. CPU: intel i9 14900k
  4. CPU cooler: Lian Li Galahad II Trinity SL-INF
  5. PSU: Lian Li Edge EG 1300
  6. RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x 32GB (eventually 4x 32GB)
  7. SSD: wd_black sn850x 4TB (also see 1st question)
  8. GPU: XFX Speedster Merc 319 RX 6950 XT

Thank you so much for your help <3
