Programmer's hackintosh + 4k gaming

Chris Hasinski · March 15, 2017

Hey, I'm planning to replace my current desktop PC (i7 2600, 16 GB RAM, 1080 GTX, GoodRAM 120 GB SSD + 2 TB HDD).

The thing is I sometimes really need to run OS X for some iOS development/debugging. I do have a MacBook Pro 15", but I prefer to work with a desktop computer when at home.

I also play games (right now I have a ultrawide 1440p display, but I'm considering upgrade to 4k or ultrawide 38" 3840*1600).

I'm quite sure I'll buy a 1080Ti when they are available and a second GPU (older AMD? Nvidia 7xx series?) to run on OS X (because Pascal cards are not supported on OS X).

Without those GPUs and monitor my budget is around $1700. Any help choosing parts?

64 GB RAM is a must. Programming and gaming are the use cases for this build.
