I have picked out some parts using tonymacx86's February 2016 parts guide, and I think I have something pretty close to what I need: a gaming PC that can run games like Cities: Skylines, GTA V, Space Engineers, FO4, etc. at high or max settings at 1080p60. The only things driving me off is the price and the amount of problems I have read people have with it. I have read that people have had to set up their entire systems all over again because of a graphics driver update or an update to OS X. Do most Hackintoshers have those issues? If I have to set up my system all over again when I update my BIOS, I'm not too keen on this whole thing after all, lmao. Also, will I be able to overclock the CPU and/or GPU while running OS X, or should I just get a non-K processor?
I would like some help lowering the price by at least a hundred dollars while maintaining a similar level of performance. Thanks! :) (SSD was not included in this build since I already own one)
Oh yeah, and I'm Canadian so the prices suck.
