Completed Sierra install: Gigabyte GA-270MX-gaming 5 / Intel 7600k / GTX 1080 Ti / 4k monitor

This install was so painless thanks to the help of hackintosher.com. I used his guide here and was done in just a few hours. If you're new to Hackintosh, I highly recommend using a build guide like this one and sticking to Vanilla installs (not using uni/multibeast).

Link to guide.

The only thing I have left to do is try to get iMessage working, then the only thing that separates this from a real Mac to me is lack of 1080p Netflix on Safari. But I often can't even get that to work on my MacBook Pro, so it's not a big deal. Plus, I have a 4k Chromecast.

This motherboard is a dream. My USB ports all seem to work (haven't tried USB-C yet), and my front/back audio seem to be good. Sleep is great. The only issue I have is that my Western Digital external hard drive gets ejected during sleep. I am using the Jettison app right now to fix this, but will do some investigating later, since I would like to have Time Machine backups during sleep if that's possible.
