800 USD Mini ITX Hackintosh

[charlie.mike25]

Hey everyone,

 

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/zB6gnn

This is the build I've come up with for about 800 USD.

1. Budget & Location

800 USD, Living in Portugal but buying my parts in the USofA

2. Aim

General use, light gaming Diablo 1080p, Football Manager, Motorsport Manager, Light Photo Editing, Future Hackintosh

3. Monitors

1 monitor for now, 1080p

4. Peripherals

Have a basic mouse and keyboard but looking to upgrade to a mechanical soon. Tried one and it was lifechanging.

5. Why are you upgrading?

Running a 2013 MacBook Pro which is starting not to cut it as far as gaming is concerned, but i love the OS and the portability/battery life. This will be a compliment to that system.

 

NOTES:I like the aesthetics of the case, and I'm looking to do some light gaming, nothing more than Diablo at 1080p, and possibly run a hackintosh off of this once Pascal GPU's get some MacOS support.

 

I know it's not the best bang for buck build out there, and you could probably shave off another 100 USD or so, but I like to think that me looking at something pleasing is worth something too.

 

I'd like to get your thoughts on it.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Edited to comply with the first post sorry.

I think the 1060 will have driver issues for a hackintosh build.

okk.....your build is good. But change the ssd to a 850evo or some other newer ssd.

You might want to check for compatibilty on a hackintosh forum, dicussing how to make hackintoshes is against the Community Standards, but I would step doen to a h110 board and save some money not sure whether or not it would be compatible, you will have to check somewhere else to find out hackintosh compatability.
