yes as mentioned above, motherboard is the the most important for hackintosh compatibility (as long as you have an intel cpu) I got mine to work on my MSI board on my last build. I also have seen around that gigabyte boards usually work the best, no idea why but my msi board was a pain to get my integrated graphics to work properly and audio. Hackintoshing takes a lot of time and troubleshooting to get things working, especially if you're learning for the first time. I don't imagine that a generic pre built motherboard will work very well, but noone can say for sure, its definitely one of those things you try and see. tonymacx86 is usually a good place to start and theres lots of help available on the forums (their mods are pretty strict, but helpful) good luck
I managed to get this PC for free initially, but by the end I added $33, so no. I'm checking OSX86 issues with Gigabyte and other third-party boards that aren't OEM. They're tough to find for LGA1155, and when you try, they cost over $100. Probably just Foxconn parts. I've heard GTX 6XX come out of the box, so a 650 TI is fine, but 7XX models don't ship that way. The only downside with the 650 TI is it's about $40 more than the 7570's $13. Also, I'm a bit curious about other options.
I successfully installed Sierra on my R5 1600 and 1050ti using the first attempt. Running it on the lowest quality motherboard available—biostar—has been manageable. The AMD Hackintosh community has been putting in a lot of effort to make the system perform like Intel. Intel still holds an advantage with Quick Sync in Final Cut Pro, which isn’t present in AMD setups. Overall, it’s been quite smooth for everything else.
Consider the second-hand market; there are plenty of LGA1155 options available. New units are no longer offered for sale.
This setup looks strong for Hackintosh. I’m happy you’re considering using both Windows and Hackintosh, as long as you’re ready for the challenge. You’ll need the two HDDs to get started.
It might have been a 7xx selection. I understand 770 and 780 are fine, and I've heard many people succeed with 760 too.
Compatibility takes priority over raw speed in Hackintosh. The goal is to ensure your PC works fully with OSX before optimizing performance. For dual-boot setup, I recommend using two SSDs, each with its own bootloader, so avoid connecting both drives during installation. When starting either OS, select the boot disk in BIOS for a smoother experience.
