I (re)built my hackintosh back in January after I felt it was time to upgrade my parts as my previous main build was starting to show it's age and I needed more performance power for future work, I can say that I am quite pleased with the results of this machine and it is truly serving me well. It has truly been a powerhouse machine so far. This is my main build and 3rd overall hackintosh build. If any questions about my hackintosh build , please feel free to ask.

Updated to 10.13.6
