Hi there. As mentioned in the title, this is my first time building a hackintosh. I'm fairly familiar with building PCs the conventional way, but I figured I'd seek the advice from you guys now that I'm trying something a little bit different; so that I don't end up in a mess due to having ordered inappropriate components. The build will primarily be used for Final Cut Pro (on OSX) and gaming (on Windows).
The main questions I'm looking to answer are:
Will this build work? Am I likely to run into anything unexpected due to this choice of parts?
Will I be able to set up a Mac/Win dual boot situation fairly easily, whereby OSX is installed on the SSD and Windows is installed on the HDD?
The list of parts I'm looking to get are as follows. Thanks for your time.
