Looking to buy the ASRock H370 Fatal1ty Performance to use with an i7-8700 with onboard graphics. It's my first time building a Hackintosh, and so ease of installation is important to me. But this particular motherboard has all the features I need + I've found a deal with it for $85 off the usual price and budget is tight. Is there any reason that these boards are less popular? There's not many guides with them on the Internet. Do they provide any problems? Some people have told me that they don't have NVRAM but other people have told me they're absolutely fine. I'm conflicted, need some more input. Please share any successes or information or guides you have with them. Thanks!
Read through the golden builds. Make sure you choose one that works with MultiBeast (avoid X99, X299 boards). Like @djashjones said, get exactly the same parts as the Golden Build you like best. I would not worry about getting a Z370 motherboard unless you plan to overclock (now or in the future). Onboard graphics can be hit and miss. NVRAM can always be supported through Clover if the UEFI of your motherboard gives you trouble. The best cheap video cards are RX560s, RX570s, Used FirePro W7000, RadeonPro WX4100
