Last time I tried installing macOS sierra on this PC the installer didn't even load, so I would like to know if whether my parts are compatible or not and if yes which version of macOS should I install.

Intel core i5-3470 , Intel HD 2500 (igpu)
Dedicated GPU : AMD RX 470
Motherboard : Gigabyte GA-H61M-S2-B3
Wireless Adapter : TP-LINNK TL-WN722N

I also tried installing macOS seirra on my laptop , and I was able to install the OS but nothing was functioning properly (nothing was detected.

HP Notebook - 15-r232ne (ENERGY STAR) specs:

Intel i5-5200U , Intel HD 5500
NVIDIA geforce 820M
Realtek RTL8723BE/RTL8188EE 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Drivers

I cannot address your laptop. For that you should post in the laptop area after reading the FAQ for laptops should you still have questions.

Your desktop maybe a problem depending upon how you choose to proceed. The WiFi as far as I am able to tell is not compatible with macOS. The AMD RX 470 is also likely to be a problem. Use the Search function for information relating to it and any other issues that you find.

Your Intel Graphics HD 2500 supported by your CPU is not supported in macOS. So there is a fair amount of risk with this installation. You have many options such as upgrade your CPU, change your GPU to a known compatible one, or just install with what you have and attempt to resolve any issues that you encounter.

Good modding,
