New Hackintosh Silent Build

[ElazulTF2]

Hello everyone,

A friend of mine asked me to help him for his first computer build.
Beeing a music guy that is really into Macintosh when it comes to song software, he wants a computer where he can use his Mac software for music, and the Win10 side for gaming.
The only thing he mentionned was the need for it to be as silent as possible for any recordings close to his future computer case and he also told me he could use as much as 1200€ for it (let's say around the same in $)

Do you guys have any ideas about what parts would fit together nicely for this budget ?

Feel free to give me your thoughts and ideas.
I personnaly feel quite interested in Ryzen from AMD but I don't know how much compatibility there is regarding hackintosh builds with AMD cpus.
Thanks in advance.

Stick to parts on this list and you'll be fine, FYI hackintosh talk isn't really allowed here so if you want support create an account at the site I linked and ask there.

Thanks for the link, and sorry about the hackintosh, didn't know it was not allowed to talk about it.

Not much unfortunately.  I'd go to that other site but here is a list I've already made, everything should be macintosh compatible and all the components I chose have 0 decibel modes (GPU, CPU cooler) so you can have no fans until the CPU/GPU really need it

CPU: Intel - Core i7-7700 3.6GHz Quad-Core Processor  (€300.15 @ Amazon France) 
CPU Cooler: be quiet! - Dark Rock 3 67.8 CFM Fluid Dynamic Bearing CPU Cooler  (€59.90 @ Amazon France)

Restricting talk about installing a protected operating system onto an unsupported and unlicensed computer is dumb?

When said softwares EULA is not legally binding and when said company takes no perceivable measures to stop people from doing this......yes.

 

Apple doesn't care as long as you don't sell Hackintoshes

I'd remove this recommendation as its against the forum rules.

And what happens to LMG if they suddenly start caring? Besides which its Linuses house, Linuses rules.

What happens to the many dedicated forums, youtube channels, and etc that help people make Hackintoshes? Nothing.......nothing has ever happened. 

 

The largest incident is from a guy who built and sold Hackintoshes. If he had not sold them he would have been fine.

Chill guys, send me PMs if you have some hackintosh informations and do not want to go against this forum rules, it's all good. I got some good things to go with so far

Hey again, I've been looking into the build and I'm trying to lower the total price down to around 1000€ now. My friend didn't tell me the screen was in the total price so he's keeping 200€ for the screen and around 900/1000 for the actual computer.
