Hello. After a lot of struggle and reading I finished my first hackintosh today.  :thumbsup_anim:

 

My installation apparently auto set my SMBIOS to a MacPro3,1 which is strange cause my specs are very different, whats the best choice for my hardware?

 

MB > MSI Z97S Krait

CPU > Intel i5 4460 (LGA1150)

GPU > GTX 970 Armour

 

The 14,1 iMac looks like the good option since it also uses an i5 Haswell (i5 4507S) but I'm a nit scared of changing and breaking something, also someone said that the wrong SMBIOS might break my PCU power management. Any help?

Your haswell cpu will not break because its now "broken". The kernel only uses haswell fixes if you set a correct smbios. Here you go. // PLACEHOLDER VALUES ONLY
