Hello everyone, I am new to "hackintosh" and I am interested to have both Sierra and Windows 10 installed on my PC and Windows 10 as primary OS. Before I start anything, I wanted to know if my PC is compatible with Sierra?

My computer spec:
i7 7700k
ASUS Strix ROG Z270i
32GB RAM
GTX 780 Ti

Also wanted to know if 1080 Ti and Samsung 850 Pro 512GB will work with Sierra?

The latest Intel 7th generation core i processors and 270 boards can be made to work and will run macOS, but the process is not as easy as with the 6 generation as at this point in time Apple has not publicly released hardware that shares this latest platform. There are at present some temporary workarounds. Your Intel Ethernet is supported port is supported.

Many past model Asus boards have featured compatible wifi and BT, however I cannot find what hardware that your board is using. it is possible to change this over for compatible hardware or remove it all together if you do not use it. I don't think that the audio will work as id doesn't appear to be a normal Realtek audio codec that can be made to work. USB audio would be an option for macOS. A Sabrent model can be picked up cheaply online and works great.

Yes both will work, the 1080Ti requires additional nvidia drivers to operate and is supported from the current macOS 10.12.4 public release available from the Mac App Store.

Multi Booting UEFI is what to check out for running macOS and Windows on the same machine:

Thank you for your reply. I will definitely try to install Sierra and Windows 10 soon. Also, the WiFi adapter is called "Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4A" as said in the device manager. Not like I care about WiFi but it might come handy later. I am pretty sure it also have Bluetooth built-in. I am not using the built-in audio. I use usb audio for Schiit Valhalla 2 AMP and Schiit Bifrost Multibit DAC. So, no problem if the built-in audio is not working.
