Hi y'all, I'm new around here but I've been reading up posts in this forum (and other sites) as I'm interested in building a mATX Hackintosh (first-ever build!) for myself using a Power Mac G5 case (or a Lenovo Ideacentre K210). I've already taken the liberty of looking through the Buyer's Guide, in addition to looking up the 'kits' I'll need to use the G5 case.
Here's what I've chosen for the build (which won't happen until a month or two from now):
G5 Hackintosh Components
Intel Core i3-8350K 4GHz Quad-Core Processor
CRYORIG H7 49.0 CFM CPU Cooler
Asus ROG STRIX Z370-G GAMING (WI-FI AC) Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
G.Skill NT Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2400 Memory
ADATA Ultimate SU800 256GB 2.5" SSD + Seagate - Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM HDD
MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Low Profile
Corsair CSM 550W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX PSU
TP-Link - Archer T9E PCI-Express x1 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi Adapter <---Do I need this?
Apple Power Mac G5 Case
The Laser Hive mATX G5 Case kit
I've got a few questions for the above setup:
(1) Although I've used the Buyer's Guide for this, there are some parts here (like the CPU Cooler and the memory) which aren't there. I won't have any compatibility issue, will I?
(2) Are there any better alternatives for the parts I've chosen (e.g., should I use a 7xxx series CPU instead of an 8xxx series one, etc.)? I'm gonna be using this computer for both school and gaming.
(3) Finally, I know that I'll be getting kits from The Laser Hive (based off the good reviews) but is there any other 'conversion parts' I'll need to pull this off? If this isn't the appropriate forum to ask this particular question, I apologize in advance for that.
