Been a Mac user. I needed a new machine for home computing and basic photo, video and graphics usage. Prices of new full CustoMac was, well, out of my budget.
I build a PC to go only on Mac OS X. After build for about 2 months, a CustoMac with i3-4150 and a Radeon R9 380 for more graphics experience, I continue down the Hackintosh route.
My challenge was to bulid and install OS X for home computing and media server with in theory an no supported CPU.
I only want to achieve here a way for budget configuration for people want to have a good experience on macOS for home computing.
Installation
I had successfully install Yosemite and El Capitan with the the same method :
I created USB installer with UniBeast and follow the installation guide below.
I have created my own config.plist by following users guides in the forum :
Install El Capitan on Pentium and Celeron :

I applied the recommended settings on my BIOS.
I boot on the USB installer: about 2 minutes for have the installer screen
I have formatted the HDD with GUID partition map
I began the install for about 14 minutes
After reboot, I choose the USB installer
The installation ran about 25 minutes
After success install, I reboot to Macintosh HD ( -v, -xcpm, GraphicsEnabler=Yes nv_disable=1)
Reboot during about 3 minutes
I finalized the install with MultiBeast :
