What are the hardware purchasing skills of Black Apple?
It's very simple, just be infinitely close to the configuration of the White Apple.
Just look at what the mainstream white Apple computer hardware uses, and black Apple also uses what hardware it uses. The installation and use are much simpler, and they are basically drive-free.
So, after basically looking at the computer configuration of White Apple, you will know how to buy Black Apple’s hardware.
Let's talk about the motherboard first
The choice of motherboard brand is very simple, Gigabyte and Asus are the top priority, followed by MSI and ASRock, and Colorful in the third echelon. The remaining brands are in the fourth echelon.
As for which model the motherboard is used, it must be considered based on your CPU chipset.
I personally recommend this, which is a motherboard that starts with H at level 3, a motherboard that starts with B at level 5 at level 7 at level 7 at level 7 at level Z.
For example, the motherboard of the H310 chipset is recommended
For example, i5 8400, the motherboard of the B360 chipset is recommended.
For example, the motherboard of the Z370 chipset is recommended.
Let's talk about CPU
As of now, 2020/05/14, none of Apple's Mac computers have ever used the CPU of Amd, and all of them are Intel's CPUs.
Although everyone is calling AMD Yes, for users of Black Apple system, it is recommended to use Intel's CPU for the time being.
It does not mean that AMD's Ryzen CPU cannot be used. Now AMD's Ryzen series CPUs are also very convenient. They are installed successfully. There may be some minor problems when used later. Although they can basically be solved, they will waste a lot of time.
Therefore, it is still mainly recommended for Intel's Core CPU.
If one day in the future, after White Apple starts to use AMD's CPU, Black Apple can finally use AMD's CPU with confidence.
And that's it,Black Apple's CPU, the higher the main frequency, the better。
Here are some CPUs to consider
All Intel Core's CPUs after 7th generation are good
For example, i3 8100, i5 9400F, i7 9700k, i9 10900k and other Core CPUs are all OK, just buy them according to your budget.

AMD graphics card black Apple system 10.15 support list
Basic AMD's new graphics cards are all driverless.Recommended AMD original card and sapphire
Some have brand problems. For example, everyone says that Sapphire's graphics card is directly driven on the driverless card, but maybe some graphics cards of XFX and Xunjing cannot be used.
In the Apple system after version 10.15.2, only a few graphics cards can automatically turn on hardware acceleration and hard solution, which is the high-quality driverless card in the list below.
The drive-free card in the second list can be used to match core graphics and modify models, and can also enable hardware acceleration and hard solution, which requires more time and effort.

Intel's core graphics
Except for HD3000, everything else is basically supported, and ID modification may be required.
The core graphics of low-end CPUs such as Pentium and Celeron are not supported, so they must use independent graphics
By the way, Nvidia's old graphics cards, such as GeForce 5xx, 4xx, 2xx, 8600M (GT)/8800M (GT), 9400M/9600M (GT), 320M/330M, etc., can use the Black Apple old graphics card patch Legacy Video patch.
