Hi,

My iMac just died and I want to build my next computer myself. It will be my first time building a computer, and want it to run Mac OS X El Capitan and Windows 10 (on separate drives). I've been reading a lot on building a hackintosh and tried to find some parts based on other people's builds.

I've this list at the moment and would like to know if you thinks my hackintosh will run fine with these parts. Or if you have some suggestions on making it better (or easier for Mac OS X installation).

I will mainly use this computer for development, designing and video editing (using the Adobe CC suite). Windows will be used for some gaming (nothing too crazy). I have a 28" 4K screen and want to be able to use a second one if I decide to buy one later.

I want it to be future proof as well, so that I won't run into any problems when my projects grow bigger or have new things to do on it.

My budget is around 1500€, and the parts will mainly be bought on amazon (France) (The parts in this list can be ordered for 1510€ at the moment on amazon.fr)

So here is the list :
