I am going to be building a computer for my architecture classes. I have a budget of about $1500 and I am specifically thinking of building a Hackintosh.
I plan to be doing graphics incense activities such has 3D rendering in Solidworks, AutoCAD, Rhino, and programs of the like. I also enjoy gaming and do plan on doing some more serious gaming.
My biggest issue right now is deciding between the old Broadwell vs Haswell, mostly in how it plays in with the new socket types. I know that LGA 2011 is the older type and as such will be phased out in the next little bit, therefore making the LGA 1150 the better option in the long run. However, as I have looked into the mother boards and build specifications, the LGA 2011 seems to beat out 1150 overall. Specifically in the RAM department (2011 has 64gb max and 1150 has only 32gb).
This is the first computer I have and will build, so I'm not really sure which one to choose. Here are two builds I have made up that I'm thinking of doing right now. Each is based around one or the other socket types.

LGA 1150

If y'all could suggest which would be better as in socket type that would be great. Also any general suggestions to changing and upgrading the build would be appreciated.
As a small side note, I am willing to wait until January or so to build this because I can use school provided computer for the rendering at least until then.
