    Here is a quote I have been sent for my potential new hackintosh. If anyone has knowledge of how I could improve it please leave a comment. Thanks

    I recently built my first Hackintosh X99 system which only cost me £1200!

    It's the same build as what you've been quoted only I opted for 16GB 2400mhz Ram, GTX 960 2Gb Graphics Card and two 1TB Western Digatal HDD

    It was quite easy to build, just do the research on how before you start! YouTube etc...

    Then I followed this guide to get El Capitan installed

    http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...capitan-10-11-2-clover-guide-100-working.html

    Now everything is working perfect!

    My geekbench score at 64bit is 26510, which is the equivalent to a £3,500 Mac Pro Trash Can!

    I would personally never buy another Mac Pro again!!

    Not so sure about that. Basically you can say: if it works with a real Mac, it works with a Hack. This is from the UAD site (http://www.uaudio.com/support/uad/pcie-support):
    and the driver for the 9632 is only 32bit, so only usuable until Lion, correct me if I'm wrong..

    Guys, I have a Lenovo K450 i7, graphic card GTX 650, CPU 3.4 and 3.9 in turbo mode, which can support up to 32 G of Ram. I successfully installed El Capitan on it. I use Cubase, logic pro X, Komplete 10 ultimate, final cut. etc . I even installed VMware fusion too. I bought this computer on Ebay for only $ 375. Sometimes you don't need to spend 1000 dollars, you need to know how to shop around a make things work.
