I thought that budget really wasn't that low. Also why would I have update issues in future? Once It's on the machine it should work fine after some tweaking right?
I think the budget you have is too big. If you have £550 to spend, why not spend it on something specifically designed to run the software.
From my (albiet limited) experience of building hackintoshes there are frequent driver issues and annoying niggles to sort out. Each major point upgrade to the system can also cause important parts of the machine to stop working. Also, the fact that OS X is designed specifically for a limited set of hardware, you are likely to see smoother performance on actual mac hardware.
