Upgraded my 2011 Hackintosh last year: i7-950 -> x5680 overclocked to 4.25GHz (good enough can probably go up). Upgraded from 12GB RAM to 24GB triple channel RAM (can upgrade to 48GB). Also upgraded from a old 1.5GB video card to the Sapphire RX 580. It was too much of a pain to get mac OS to run with this setup so I gave Windows 10 a try. It works great. I only use it for photography and video work. This setup smokes my 2016 Macbook Pro. I was considering tossing the system but a couple hundred dollars worth of upgrades and new life to a old system.
