I am building my own computer and it is going to have: an i5-7400 with gigabyte windforce 6gb 1060. Am I able to dual boot Sierra with windows 10.
 
There is a testing thread for the new Kaby lake hardware which is well under way. There may be some issues at this point in time depending on the ethernet and audio codec that the motherboard you chose. The 15-7400 should work and you should be able to use the onboard graphics. The big issue that you will have is that there are no supported macOS drivers for the nvidia 1000 series cards.

I am not personally testing this hardware but I would suggest that you consider whether you are looking for a build using mini-ITX, mATX or ATX. Look for the features that interest you and please do read through the testing thread as it will give strong indications of any likely issues. The ALC 1220 audio is new and at this point you should use a USB adaptor to get audio running on macOS. :thumbup:

Can you still get nvidia 900 series cards - even something from eBay like a GTX 970/GTX980 will work with macOS with the nvidia drivers.
