Since I'm looking to buy my first MacBook I figured I wanted to try out macOS in the meantime. I had these components laying around (except for the GPU) so figured why not. I've been a Windows user my whole life although all my other devices are from Apple. I started out with installing High Sierra since I only had a GTX 1050TI at that moment. After managing to getting it all working and running perfectly I decided to buy an RX 480. First tried installing Monterey which took me several days to get installed. After that I tried updating to Ventura and this worked without any issues. Performance is great, except for the M.2, therefore I ordered a new one which I'm still waiting for. I'm planning on using this as my main desktop computer and use my Windows PC for gaming. For any questions, feel free to reach out!
