Can my old rig run Mojave?

[HackinSiri7]

Hi, I'm new here.
Since I'm getting a new computer for my birthday, I'm thinking about turning my five year old rig into a Hackintosh.

And I was wondering if it's compatible or not.

Here are the specs:
Processor: Intel Core i5-4690K at 3.5 GHz
GPU: XFX Radeon R9 280x
SSD: Samsung EVO 1 TB
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H-BK
RAM: G.Skill RipjawsX 16GB

Your machine is not that old.

Your graphics card could be a problem. The R9 280X is a rebranded HD 7970 and should normally work in MacOS. However, XFX cards of that time may use a custom video BIOS which is incompatible with MacOS :

Many people are reporting problems with XFX cards, especially HD 7xxx / R9 generation. They're using a custom BIOS which can cause a crash upon booting, which can't be fixed in OS X.

A common solution is either flashing a alternate VBIOS on your card (only do if you can recover form a bad flash!) or using Clover to load a compatible VBIOS dynamically (without flashing).
