Hackintosh build 2017?

[tricksterloon]

I put together some parts on PC Part picker. Here is the link: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DBv37h
I am planning to put OSX on this PC. Is it worth it to put OSX or just go with windows. I am basically going to play eSports and a few triple A titles. I only have a 1600x900. I am mostly going to be compiling programs, making games, and light gaming.
I have a 250Gb Seagate barracuda 7200rmp HDD.

It's a great build for such a low price. But I would say it's not really worth get OSX on it. I've been a mac user for so long and was so unsure about switching. I was considering a Hackintosh, but decided against it for a few reasons.

1. The OS you get is an old one and you won't be able to update like a normal mac.

2. No support from Apple. When I say none, I mean NONE. You ask how to open airdrop in finder and they will say sorry can't help. So if anything were to happen it would be a big issue.

3. The bios and motherboard aren't wired for Apple OS X. Often times you will get bios issues and have to restart a lot.

For me, all of these things make it not worth building a hackintosh. After all, the whole point of getting Apple products is simplicity. I would rather learn to use windows if I had to do so much work, especially work that could damage my system or leave me going to windows anyways.

Upgraded RAM since Ryzen loves high Hz rams, PSU can be better and a good case is beneficial I won't put OSX on it...

If you want Ryzen then there's no way you'll put OS X onto your computer. And while you will be able to update the OS like a normal Mac and your PC won't get BIOS issues or have to restart a lot, you'll just have to be ready to invest days into correcting a certain mistake. As for the lack of support from Apple, generally if you're able to get that darn OS onto your PC you'll already be able to find your way around the OS.

Question from tricksterloon : "Hackintosh build 2017?"

I am planning to build a hackintosh. Here is the link to pc part picker: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jCmCHN

I am not going to be heavy gaming on this pc, so I will just buy a used gtx 750ti for esports games.
Is it worth building hackintosh with these parts or just invest in a decent gaming pc for around $600.

By Hackintosh, I mean Mac OS software on pc hardware.
