What's the verdict on the Gigabyte GA-DS3H?

Looks like a decent cheap mATX z97 option for my new build.

Get an Nvidia card. Even AMD models that are in real Macs can be a pain in the dick. I had a HD 4850 that worked great but another one that wouldn't work with any amount of effort because the board had the wrong combination of video ports.

Yeah, they always update the Webdriver right after a point release, so waiting until then is likely the worst case. The good news is point releases have been coming in rather briskly lately, there's even a 10.11.6 beta out there already,.

Check out hackintosh forums for USB Bluetooth and WiFi adapter models. You’ll usually get confirmation in the Amazon reviews by hackintosh users on how well they work. I even got a random Chinese WiFi stick that works fine out of the box.

Best option is to throw a second video card in your system and use a VM with GPU passthrough. That’s what I do and everything works perfectly. I even passthrough a Broadcom wireless card so handoff and WiFi work as well.

The entire setup from beginning to end was about an hour and a half. I hit about 2% slower than bare metal speeds.
I chalk up any performance difference to my second VGA card running through a 4X PCI-E link. But in the real world, there’s no difference since it’s a 1050 Ti. It’s pretty great.
