Dual Boot Hackintosh Build

[mpsparrow]

After much thought I have decided to build a hackintosh. Here is what I have so far. http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/GbVqxr

I am planning for it to be able to dual boot to Windows 10. I don't game that much (and when I do the are very simple games), so I don't need a huge graphics card. Anyway, any suggestions are welcome as I have never built a hackintosh before.

Hackintosh is going to be a pain in the ass and isn't worth it, you'd also have the wrong motherboard for it, and you need to get very specific hardware for it to work well.

 

avoid kingston SSDs

 

and I'd still get a 380 at that budget

 

and an unlocked CPU isn't going to be worth it, also you can't overclock on that board

and don't buy an OEM windows key because they only work once

With that build you get a better CPU, MoBo, and GPU. You also get a bigger SSD.

Looks better, thanks for the suggestion. One question, why the ram change?
