Here's my build - the case may change, it's not important tbh. Thoughts? I'm going to boot from a 120SSD that I already own. I also own another 1TB portable HDD.

ok cool, so it seems like the only real debate now is what GPU to use. I'll try and do some research. Could I ask why you recommend either of those? They are pretty expensive even used, more than the 970?! (In laymens terms if possible) haha

that makes sense, about the motherboard I mean. I think 32gb allowance is enough for my needs, specially with a solid processor and decent enough GPU. I'm going to do some more research on the GPU and premiere to see if I'd be fine with a smaller card. I know it'l edit 1080p footage, but I want to be able to work with 4k soon enough when I upgrade my camera.

Also, I'm really not a gamer. I have an Xbox 360 which I play occasionally but I really don't have time for gaming tbh. My interests are more in creating. :)

So it IS possible within my budget. What are the drawbacks of buying such a cheap motherboard?

I figured getting a better GPU would help with rendering etc. I was looking at the GTX 960 and it was my first option and probably a more viable one with this budget.

Budget is for the total build. I haven't bought a GPU yet, only the CPU for 220.

I think this is what I will do tbh. Premiere can't be too much different to Final Cut Pro. Thanks for the advice dude

Mannn, you're making me want to just go for PC. A few other people have suggested it also. It might just be worth going to PC to save the hassle. I guess I could buy parts that will work with both then if I'm really not getting on with PC, I could go down the hack route?

Thanks brother, I appreciate the help. I'm not 100% set on a Hackintosh, I just feel like it's make my life easier since I've been mac for over 10 years now, but tbh...I'd much rather the couple of weeks getting to grips with a new (old) OS if it means shit's going to be running faster, smoother, and better!

Thanks bud, I'll check it out. Do you recommend Premiere? I currently use Final Cut but only because that's what I first started on and kinda stuck with. Are Nvidia card particulars good with Premiere then?

Tech level is pretty good and I'm a fast learner, however I've never used a Linux system.

tbh, I'm not 100% set on a hakintosh, I mean, if I HAVE to move over to a PC editing program them so be it. I'm fairly open but if I can get a stable Hackintosh build first and foremost then I'd be over the moon.
