Background: So i'm building a hackintosh for my father, and i currently am divided between two builds. The first build is a based on Haswell, and the second Build is based on Skylake. Since i'm trying to get the price down as low as possible, i am deciding this build based on the effectiveness/power of the integrated graphics chip that comes with the i3 in each build. Also... a friend of mine is giving me his amd radeon 5770 (this one) and I'll see if i can get that to work. I know that Skylake cpus are still being worked on and everything, but it has a much better performance rating than the Haswell chip and it is cheaper as well. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
