Just saying hi to all.
New to this "PC master race" thing,(Thanks Tom great vids).
I come from a time long-long ago before broadband was even a term,
we're talking Windows 98 to 2000 ish, when i used to help fix problems with
friends pc's thanks to "Windows & DOS for Dummies & all the other tomes associated at those times".
Been in the Mac eco system since the first iMac & although i prefer that OS to Windows,
i don't like the way they've become "boutique non upgradeable" pieces of tech,
for the well heeled.
So i've decided to rebel & build a Hackintosh based on a Ryzen 2600 cpu.
As i've read, this is the tough way to go (Ryzen) instead of intel, but being a masochist
it's going to be an ITX build with a Strix B450 (or X470 if funds permit) mobo
with the Sapphire RX 580 8 Gb graphics card. So quite a challenge with all that terminal
stuff & kext files to deal with.
Thanks to a very enthusiastic youtuber "Peter Paul Chato" i hope NOT to get too frustrated with the process, so it's going to be a long build project, (as i'm still rocking my "very well behaved" 2010 15" MBPro which i've had from new, no thanks to Apples updates :cussing:.
Any road-up, looking forward to my new adventure, i've got the case "Phanteks Evolv Shift in gunmetal grey & it's "Gorgeous" & researched some parts (thanks again Tom & all the other reviewers), & put together a parts list using PC Parts picker (don't groan, i've only got the case so far, i'm here for advice & help along the way).
Oh yeah! use wise, mainly ripping my Blurays & CDs to my Drobo 5N faster than at the mo, also archiving my records using Audacity to said Drobo. Will prob use Handbrake to re-encode movies for phone & tablet use. Apart from that, just web browsing Youtubing & watching Netflix on my big screen telly (for when the app on that gets upgraded & stops working), i might try a bit of gaming, flight sims & racing stuff appeals more to me than First person shooters,( i need a calm & relaxing environment in me old age)
.
So have a look at me list & tell me what you think, am i on the right track with choices, or just making a rod for me back.
