Upgrading my Hackintosh

QUESTION

I have a couple of questions and need some advice

I was able to get a hackintosh up and running on Yosemite with multibeast. My specs are as follows:

  • Motherboard: Asus P8z77 -v lx
  • CPU: i7 3770k
  • Graphics Card: Geforce GTX 660ti

I am currently a student studying computer science use this computer mainly for web development and school work. I want to get into iOS development meaning I need to update my computer to El Capitan. I tried using Clover to boot into El Capitan but failed and don't have the time or the patience to get it running (apparently my motherboard is a little tricky).I am looking for a new motherboard that will be easy to setup to run El Capitan with Clover. Is there a motherboard out there that will work right out of the box or close to it? Will it be difficult to move all my components (CPU and cooler) over onto the new board? Am I just being a lazy idiot who should try harder with my current motherboard? I am willing to pay the money for a new motherboard if it means the setup will be easier.

If I get a new motherboard I was playing around with the idea of getting a smaller case as well. So are there any ATX or mATX boards you guys recommend to help noobs like me get up and running on El Capitan quickly?
