planning a hackintosh adobe workhorse

tl;dr version: I want the fastest adobe CC centric hackintosh possibru

Hi, my name is ButtCarcass. (handle on reddit is slightly different, but I'm still ButtCarcass) Please let me know if anything about this post is a breach of local etiquette. I'm new here and know nothing about your customs - but I come in piece.

I've searched / lurked various sites and forums for weeks, and it seems the more I learn, the less sure I am about whether I can effectively achieve my goal of building a powerful Adobe Hackintosh (or Windows PC as a fall back choice) or not.

background I've been doing digital creative for a long time. Despite a couple decades of doing paid design work on PC and Mac, with the last 14 years of this in a self-employed capacity, I've learned very little about PC building, other than the fact that I can work just fine on mac or windows OS.

I do know I can work significantly faster in Apple environments, and already spend 90% of my time there. Also, I'd prefer to stay current with whatever OS is latest from Apple. (Although I typically let new releases season for 2-3 months before I migrate, due to Adobe's history with this whole thing.)

When I work, I routinely jump around between several complex vector art files (Illustrator) and Photoshop documents that are made up of dozens, sometimes hundreds of layers and treatments. Some of these images are huge raw files from high end fashion or product photography, weighing hundreds of MB - and that's before I start breaking them into layers and applying treatments.

All of these raster and vector images are composed in InDesign where I build layouts, and in order for me to see what I'm working on (whether the output is intended for print or screens) I need to run maximum quality rendering at all times.

On even the fastest MacBook Pros, this has been nearly impossible, and when it does work there's lots of lag, and this really slows me down. I haven't bought a full-sized mac workstation in over a decade, and refuse to do so ever since designers stopped being the target market for Apple products.

The thing about creative work is, when you've been doing design for a long time, you see lots of (endless) possibilities, and this is when having a faster workstation can really offer an opportunity to do better work. By not having to wait on a machine, I can bang out multiple variations on a theme and export reference files for clients in record times. This is what I need. I'll keep running macbook pro for when I travel, but I've gotten far too busy to spend so much of my time waiting on my workstation, and dumbing down my approach to compensate for hardware limitations is unacceptable.

Also, I'm moving into video, so between all of this, I'll really need the GPU acceleration I can get from NVIDIA for Adobe CC apps.

goal I want to work in InDesign / Photoshop / Illustrator / Premier and After Effects with zero or minimum lag on a machine that I can upgrade and expand as needed. I assume this build will cost at least $3500 without display or other peripherals. (I'll either be running the LG 27" 4k IPS or the similarly equipped Benq display.)

build components, in order of priority:

1. fastest gfx card under $1000 that runs (1-2) 4k display(s) and will support mojave, CUDA, GPU acceleration as specificed by adobe

2. fastest CPU under $650 (assuming Intel Core i9-9900K?) I need as much ghz as possibru for half the apps I use (especially those that are rendering vector art), only 6-8 cores. it is my understanding there is no need for more than 8 cores in my workflow. school me if not.

3. PCI-e SSD chips for storage - (1) 1tb for OS and apps, (1) 2tb for working files. (I store non-active files on local and offsite backup systems.) Smaller drive would need to be whatever M2 format SSD I can use as boot volume for apple OS. For both, I prefer speed and dependability over price.

4. 64gb ram - no idea what the deal is with all the rainbow ram I'm seeing on newegg. Hopefully I can get something fast and durable that's not covered in christmas lights

5. MOBO - usb-c! can I have dis? Whatever the best thing is that is compatible with everything else - hopefully without aforementioned light shows

6. cooling - I assume I would use a Noctua - NH-D15 on the CPU and everything else would depend on the case

7. peripherals - not sure if possible, but would prefer to use the latest apple KB/M

notes:

I started a PC parts picker list with the intent of building a windows PC for this purpose, but then kind of abandonded it when I started to realize how many variables I'm dealing with if I want to go full hackintosh.

I will never play a game on this machine or do any kind of recreation with it. (technically, it's all recreation because I love what I do) Also, I really want to avoid flashy lights, colors or other toy-like components.

I do have local frands with PC and hackintosh building/modding experience who will help me with the technical steps of this build.

If you have any case recommendations, I'm interested in that as well. I really like the Loque Ghost s1 and some of the NZXT cases. I assume this kind of build is best done in a large case, but really I know nothing about this either. : )
