I have a working Hackintosh VM, but the graphics are laggy and there are lots of visual glitches (I have VMsvga2 and Beamoff installed and they helped, but I'd like to improve it still). It looks like the best solution is to install OS X properly (i.e., on another disk).
My current disk setup is a 460Gb SSD (nearly full) with Windows 10 and programs / games on it, and a 1TB hard drive with backups and some extra data.
It makes sense to buy a new SSD for OS X, for ease of configuration. The total size of the installation + programs is unlikely to be more than 40Gb. However, the price/Gb of 120Gb SSDs is much better than for 64Gb SSDs: if possible I'd like to get a 120Gb SSD and partition it in two, leaving one half to alleviate my almost full Windows SSD. Is this going to be a massive pain to configure?
My full build is as follows:
- MSI Z170A Gaming M5 motherboard
- i5-6600k processor overclocked to 4.4GHz
- GTX 970 (MSI Twin Frozr) (Not bothered whether I can use this as long as integrated graphics are good enough. No games for me on OS X.)
- 16Gb 2400MHz DDR4 RAM overclocked to 2700MHz
- Seagate OEM 1TB HDD and SanDisk Ultra II 460Gb SSD
- Ethernet connection (so no WiFi driver problems)
I will make a new BIOS profile with no overclocks and VT-d turned off etc for OS X.
