Hey guys I was wondering if this was a compatible build for a Hackintosh. Im a little new to this so im not really sure if its all compatible. If there is anything i should do before i plug in the usb to install Mac OS please let me know, and I was also wondering if my GPU, audio, and WiFi ould work as well. Thanks for your help!

Build:
CPU: Intel Pentium G4560
Motherboard: MSI - B250M PRO-VD Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
RAM: Crucial - 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory
Video Card: MSI - GeForce GTX 1050 2GB Video Card
PSU: EVGA 450 BT
 
Pentiums aren't supported, you need a minimum of a Core i3 CPU. That motherboard should work OK - it has supported audio and ethernet. Not sure why you're asking about Wifi, your motherboard doesn't have a Wifi adapter. And your GPU should work with the Nvidia alternate "Web" drivers (see https://www.tonymacx86.com/nvidia-drivers/).
 
@nobodynose Pentiums aren't natively supported in Hackintoshes, with a suitable FakeCPUID you can make it work.

@TheMoEdits This set will work if you don't have two left hands. All you need is just a bit of common sense, and small knowledge about computers and so on. I have almost the same set, after some experiments everything works just fine! No performance issues, on the second SSD I have windows so it is dualbootable. Just read carefully this topic: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/solved-sierra-instalation-wont-work-on-kaby-lake.219522/
See if you understand everything, step by step and you will succeed. Also don't forget to read fantastic installation guide in guides on tonymacx86, iMessage iDiots guide and also wifi handoff and continuity guide. If I find some time I will make a good guide on the installation process. If you have any questions, just ask ;)
