You're facing a common challenge when upgrading your PC. Switching from a gaming PC to an Apple OS can be tricky, especially if you're used to the performance of your current setup. It's not inherently annoying, but it does require some planning and technical steps. Let me know if you'd like guidance on how to proceed!

Yes, it's OSX. Are you building a hackintosh?

you might have chosen a prebuilt from a low-quality company because you wanted a hackintosh, but you can't just grab any OS and install it without proper setup.

Looking for prebuilt options? Please share the CPU, GPU, and motherboard details. I'll check Tonymacxx86's site for you.

installing mac os on a non-apple pc might raise concerns, but it’s technically possible. What you’re describing resembles a hackintosh setup, though I won’t give specific instructions. Using iatkos could be one of the simpler options compared to installing windows and running mac os through virtual box.

it's curious why some people dislike prebuilt or cyberpower products so much. I was able to select every component myself and ended up with a great setup for $2000 (excluding the monitor). The NZXT Source 340 tower, i7-5820K, Akamai 570LXL cooling system, 256gb SSD, 3TB secondary drive, 16gb RAM, MSI X99S gaming board, and GTX 980 paired with the Dell U2715 monitor all came together. The monitor was a bit cheaper than Amazon after negotiating, and I appreciated the slim design. The XB270HU was nice but a bit pricier for me right now, and I didn’t want to settle for just aesthetics. I might add more monitors later.
