Hello everyone,
I am planning to build my first Hackintosh, for programming (primarily iOS but will be learning some back-end) and some gaming (1080p), and would highly appreciate any help.
My planned build is as follows: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

The two SSDs are for OS X Sierra and Windows 10, separately. lfor WiFi & Bluetooth, I plan to follow this guide (https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/100-working-12-6-pin-apple-wifi-bt-card-to-m-2-ngff-adapter-handoff-unlock-with-watch-uefi.215895/)
Overall, how does it look? Any better parts I should use? Also, do you see any problems with this build/would any functionality (imessage, facetime, etc.) not work?
Thank you! :)
