Hello good people of /r/hackintosh


I have a little computer that I want to convert into a hackintosh compatible build, that can be used with photoshop/illustrator that I will be giving to my girlfriend for her birthday.


The current specs (approximately) are as follows:

I am planning on doing the following:



  1. Replacing the processor with a Core i5-4430

  2. Adding an EVGA GTX 750

  3. Purchasing an ASUS VS228HP


Does this look like a solid build? I think everything is compatible, but a second set of eyes would be appreciated. Also, I don't know much about photoshop or other adobe products. I think the gpu and the cpu should be sufficient for modest design projects. Lastly, is this a good monitor for this type of thing?


Thank you for your help.
