I tried a installation, I did the bios configurations but not the clover configuration, I did not change anything in clover settings (is that how is it called?).
When I try to start the setup, I get stuck at the Apple Logo.
I haven't tried verbose mode yet.
 
The newest Intel processors do not have support within macOS that is available from the Mac App Store - yet, this should be due from the next public update available at around the end of June.

In order to get around this today, there is a small additional step to be followed to get this hardware to boot:

Use iMac 14,2 system definition, do not use the sensor plugins with your GTX 1060 GPU - they are not yet compatible. There is a also a fix for sleep for your GPU:

Thank you very much for you reply, Adrian B. I Will test soon and post the results.
 
Update: I'm having a hard time with installing my graphic card drivers.
Spent a entire night trying to make this work, tutorial after tutorial, reinstall after reinstall and still nothing. Still trying though.
At least I am learning a bit more.
 
Update: I'm having a hard time with installing my graphic card drivers.

Installation procedure :

BIOS - Disable Integrated graphics - Set PEG as Primary
Use a digital connection - DVI or HDMI - VGA is not supported.
Boot with nv_disable=1
May need to update Clover
Install web drivers
Config.plist - Do not inject Intel or Nvidia graphics and no ig-platform-id
Config.plist - Disable SIP fully - CsrActiveConfig 0x67
Edit config.plist - NvidiaWeb = true as per Link
May need to emulate NVRAM - Problem 6
Remove nv_disable=1 from config.plist
May need to install Lilu.kext and NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext to /Library/Extensions

Hi P1LGRIM, thanks for your reply.
I have done every single thing on your list, the only thing that I have not tried until a few seconds ago was enabling SIP fully. What have not worked. I still see OS X Default Graphics Drive checked no matter how many times I click on the Nvidia Web Driver.

BIOS > Checked
HDMI > Checked
Boot with nv_disable=1 > Checked
Update Clover> Checked
Config.plist - Do not inject Intel or Nvidia Graphics and no ig-platform-id > Checked
Config.plist - Enable SIP fully > Checked
emulate NVRAM > Checked
Remove nv_disable=1 > Checked.
May need to install Lilu and NvidiaGraphicsFixup > Checked

I think I am out of options, but I'll keep searching after I get some sleep.
This is driving me crazy.

Perhaps I should change my system definition? I tried both 14,2 and 17,1.

Attach your config.plist

Despite your assurances to the contrary you are injecting Intel graphics.
hm, this is my second time with a hackintosh, so I still don't know much.

you mean

<key>ATI</key>
<false/>
<key>Intel</key>
<true/>
<key>NVidia</key>
<false/>

right?

I changed it to false now but the same still happens.
I changed Nvidia to true and also nothing changed.
