Hi guys, new to this site and second post so bare with me haha! I haven't built a hackintosh since 2008!
I'll try keep this short, looking to buy the following from the UK such as scan oc-uk etc and want to know if there's either something you'd recommend that's better/more supported/cheaper/known to work. Nothing is set in stone so I'm open to suggestions. Basically want to dual boot win10 for gaming and then have a reliable hackintosh for everything I care about to replace my aging old macbook pro! Ideally want it to be micro atx so I can have a mid size case that caters for maybe in the future going to a 3070 super when they're cheap and wanting the b550m as it's pci-e 4x for again future proofing but if there's something better that's 4x let me know!
Specs are as follows:
ASRock B550M Pro4 Micro-atx
Ryzen 7 3700X zen 2 8 core
Either a RX580 8GB ARMOR OC or a GTX1080Ti
16GB Crosair 2x8GB DDR4 Vengeance LPX Black PC4-25600 (3200 clocked to 3600mhz) CAS 16 Ryzen optimised
Gigabyte 240gb sata 3 ssd temp till I can afford an m.2 ssd
700W psu depending what's on offer out of preferred brands and a case that catches my eye.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, from my brief modern understanding I'll want to use opencore and do some tweaks? I can obviously create whatever in my existing macbook pro catalina install to aid this installation so that's not a problem
Thanks again!
