New Hackintosh built on a budget, whilst maximising power!

New Hackintosh built on a budget, whilst maximising power!

I set out with a budget of only £600 to build a Hackintosh that would deliver good performance for my day to day coding and also allow for a little gaming.

My specs and cost are as follows:

Gigabyte Z370P D3 Motherboard (£65 Amazon (Warehouse Deal))
i3-8350k @4.2Ghz OC (£115 Ebay)
32GB DDR4 3000Mhz Corsair LPX (2 x £70 Amazon)
Radeon RX580 4Gb (£95 Ebay)
2 x 500Gb Samsung 850 EVO (already owned)
Corsair AIO H45 Water Cooling (£45 Amazon)
NZXT H500 Case (£70 Amazon)
Antec TP 750W PSU (£40 Ebay)
Real Apple Airport Extreme Card mounted on PCI-e X 1 card (£40 Amazon)
Samsung 4k Monitor (already owned)
Magic Mouse and Apple A1243 Keyboard (already owned)

Total Spend: £610 (a little over budget but hey!)

Out of the box ( using the vanilla install method on YT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fA9AotXqkqA, with the addition of adding AppleALC and changing HDAS -> HDEF in CloverConfigurator ) EVERYTHING worked, not one single issue. Everything is native and running like a dream.

Here are some pics if you are interested, let me know if you have any questions about the build.
