Smoked Bruce5X Test in FCPX with this build (Upgrade)

First Part of PC Build

 

Logic of Part Selection (Hackintosh Upgrade Walk Through)
1. Case selection
I want my PC to look like a stealth warrior but packs punch of HULK. I wanted a case that looks like sleeper.
Silver stone RVZ-02 Black window exactly fits the bill.
2. Cooler selection
Since the Height of the case is only 60 mm. I want to go the best slim HTPC cooler that is Silverstone AR-06. It slim, silent and does not hinder RAM.
3. Power Supply selection
I want to go with Silverstone SFX-L power supply which is slim and fits case perfectly.
But big pain the butt is When it is loaded and when Fan kicks in especially Low RPM, it makes very bad noise because of imbalance in rotor which is predominant when you place the case in vertical position. If I have known this before I would have never bought this power supply.
Now I replaced the fan in the power supply to Noctua NF AF12x-15. Its barely audible and I'm loving it.  
4. Graphics Card
Initially I want to buy R9 Fury or R9 Nano but power consumption might kill my system. So went to buy the RX580. Beauty of this card is its 170 mm only length and 6 pin power connector which fits well in my case and has room for 3.5" drive.
5. Backup Disk
I went with Seagate Barracuda 2TB Hard disk simply because SSD are too costly when compared to 2016 when I first built this PC.
6. Boot Disk
Samsung SM951 ACHI version M.2 SSD for blazing fast boot up.
