I'm planning on doing a mackintosh build (since I'm a college student who can't afford a $1500 macbook pro at the moment), my first one, and I don't know which gen of CPU to use. I"ve been told that I'll have less compatibility issues with Haswell, is this correct? My only real incentive to use skylake over haswell is for the iGPU (I don't know how much of a difference it is in terms of benchmarks, so maybe someone can fill me in). Other than that, it really doesn't make a difference to me.
I plan on using my build for basic uses mostly as a college student (MS office, spotify, web browsing) with a little coding in C++ and swift on the side (how well does Xcode work in a hackintosh anyway?). Please let me know which I should pick. Thanks in advance!
