Question.

Hi guys, I want to build a computer that can have oxs, and also have things like GTX 1070/1080, intel core i7 6700k, and 32 gb of dominator DDR4 memory. Can I do this and what is the best osx computer that you can build? Thanks!

You can by building an hackintosh, but driver support may be spotty at times and OSX uses OpenGL anyway, which has been shown time and time again to fall short of DirectX performance.

only certain hardware is compatible with OSX because drivers. There should be a website somewhere that has a list of all the hardware that can be used. A GTX 1070/80 are out of the question and so are any skylake CPUs because Apple does not support those yet. DDR4 is also not used by Apple so idk about that. If you want a latest gen hackintosh.....you need to wait till after Apple updates their Mac line with Skylake and DDR4 RAM.

Whether it had a GTX 1080 or not the Mac will still be shit at gaming.

Macs were not designed to be uber powerful computers. Look at how they are designed. Sleek metal bodies constructed to be as silent as possible.........not gamming material and OpenGL is not practical for gaming either. Any Mac that outputted as much heat as a desktop grade GPU might die from the poor fans running as hard as they can to keep the thing from melting  (seriously I had a 2011 iMac that would get damn hot but the fans would refuse to ramp up at all!)

What are you doing?

 

If you want to game I could design a good PC for you. Give me a budget and I'll design it.

Raspberrypifan, Thanks but I'll be building my own computer.

 

I just really like apple's os and I don't know how to use windows, so I wanted a powerful computer that I can game on that uses osx as os. Can someone program something like oh i don't know, macdoes? (sorry)

It's not just the problem with hardware, it;s the problem with how many games that support Mac OS too. Games that supports Mac you can pretty much all run on a Hackintosh machine with way lower spec GPU compare to a 1070/1080.
