Hey Guys, so far I have selected the above parts following various posts and guides on the internet.

My goal is to have a Hackintosh that runs Catalina with everything working (iMsg, handoff etc) I will be doing light graphic design and picture editing so I don't need a monster of a device.

  1. Is there an alternate CPU I can use to cut the cost of the build or even any other parts?
  2. Do I need a GPU? If yes whats the best for budget (watching 4k content and light editing)
  3. What wifi card will I need ? I want to hard wiring the computer also will it work ?
  4. Any recommendations for a case around $100 with glass side. Im confused with the sizing of the cases
  5. Are there any parts I should change so that I can create a hackintosh with less hassle. I have been reading around and I think I will be going for the Vanilla build.
