Hello! After searching for a while I've decided go with a hackintosh instead of buying a Mac since it's not worth the money in my opinion. My main goal with this computer is to be able to write and produce my music with Logic Pro X and Ableton Live 9, use VSTs and play with samples. I already chose the specs for this machine but I need some external opinion on memory and CPU since I've never used OSX and don't know if 8 GB is enough for what i'm using this machine for.
Here are the specs:
Motherboard: GigaByte for Intel Inside GA-H97N-WIFI LGA 1150 Box
CPU: Intel Core i5-4570
SSD: Ssd Samsung 850 Evo 120gb 3d V-nand Sata3 2,5 540mb/s
HD: Hd 1tb Sata 6gb/s 7200rpm - 64mb 1000gb Seagate Barracuda
Power Supply: Corsair Cx 550 Watt
Memory: CORSAIR Vengeance LP 16GB (2 x 8GB) or (2 x 4GB)
My main questions are:
Is the Core i5-4570 a good CPU? [i can't afford a i7 and this one has a reasonable price]
Do I really need to have 16 GB of RAM to a smooth performance or 8 GB is enough?
Does a SSD makes a big difference?
I'm really low on money and things are REALLY expensive here where I live so I can't build a machine much different from this one. Feel free to recommend me some small changes that can improve my setup. Thanks in advance! :)
