Pandar Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Im looking to build a Mac pro HackintoshMy budget is about 1700 USD. Anyone tips for hardware? That's a nice budget. The Gigabyte boards are about the most Hackintosh compatible. With your budget, you can go for one of the boards on this page: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList....p;name=GIGABYTE All these require the new I7 intel processor. Pick the one you can afford. Then choose all sata hard drives and dvd/cd drives. Buy all the memory you can stand and, in my opinion stay with Nvidia graphics. I know that drivers are available for up to the 9800 series, and I believe the newer series are also very workable. Good luck Pandar Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/179992-build-mac-pro-hackintosh/#findComment-1226819 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorden Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 Woah with a budget like that why not just get a MacBook Pro?! I live in Europe and Mac is more expensive here. plus I just want a desktop, is better performance for me.
