Is my old Ivy Bridge Mini ITX Build compatible?

Hello!

I'm considering making the switch to a hackintosh, since I acquired an old Macbook Pro and I'm in love with MacOS.
My main concern is that I'll have to go buy a completely new Mobo, CPU and RAM.

My current build is:

• Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77 -I Deluxe
• CPU: Intel I7-3770K
• RAM: Kingston Hyper-X 16GB 2400mHz
• GPU: ASUS GTX 970 OC2 Edition

Will this work? or do I have to buy a completely new system?

No, you should be good to go with that system. Though I'm not sure about the Wifi/Bluetooth module that comes with it; you might have to replace it if it isn't compatible with macOS (it's on a half MiniPCIe card) to get working Wifi.

Yes. It has compatible audio (Realtek ALC898) and ethernet (Intel) - those are the things you most commonly have to look out for.
