Whatever about the MacPro 7,1... yes, it's mad money, yes, the base model specs are a joke and by the time you spec anything like a real world requirement you're up to 10k with an host load of 3rd party bits like M.2 x 4 cards, SSD cards, Ram etc. My current BTO is up to just under 10k. Add to this the fact that the Apple will probably come out with an M1 version of the MacPro in a year or so.... it's even harder to justify.
I've been reading and watching a LOT of content on an AMD based Hackintosh and so very tempted. My one concern is I guess down to reliability. I can imagine a day I need to pump some work out and something breaks. That said I do have a Backup MacBookPro.
I work primarily with core Adobe Products, PShop, Illy, Indesign, After Effects. Then Cinema 4d with Arnold Render and Sketch and the usual comms/browsers.
So here's the spec I'm thinking of
AMD Threadripper 3970X
MSI TRX40 board
G.Skill Trident Z RGB 128 GB (4 x 32 GB) DDR4-4000 CL18 Memory
2 x Sabrent Rocket 4.0 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive
AMD Radeon Pro VII 16 GB Video Card
Fractal Design Define R6 ATX Mid Tower Case
Corsair AXi 1600 W 80+ Titanium Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
Some sort of Wifi/Bluetooth card?
Convince me?
