The Tsum Tsum dual-boot tower!

Build Description
Here is my dual-boot Hackintosh/Windows 10 build! As a graphic designer with a dying MacBook pro, I desperately needed a replacement for work that could render without lagging and hours of waiting. After a while, I also decided that I wanted to game on that computer, what's the point of having two graphic cards if you won't play a couple of games. Plus, everything looks so impressive on a 5k screen, so crisp!
I needed specifics parts that were compatible with Hackintosh; it was a lot of research but fun!
This was my first build with a glass panel, and I felt it looked a little sad and empty. Since I also needed a place to store all my little Disney creatures, they all ended up inside it (temperatures are still surprisedly low)!

Favorite Feature
My graphic cards are my favourite parts of the build. They are perfect for all my needs, especially compared to my MacBook pro-mid-2012! Rendering is easy and fast, and gaming has a super enjoyable experience, love crossfiring when games permit it.And no worries, I never gamed on my old MacBook, I used my husband's gaming laptop.
