I'm a beginner looking into making a hackintosh, and I don't really want to do a complete custom build as I don't want the hassle of ordering all the parts, putting it together and potentially breaking components. I also want a PC that isn't too expensive.

I've heard that it's very important that the motherboard is compatible. Because of Gigabyte's great compatibility, I am drawn towards the Gigabyte Brix S computers.

Here's the two I am thinking of possibly getting.
BKI5HA-7200
BSI7-6500

Would there be any compatibility problems with these PCs? Would I have to change some parts? WIFI would be nice but I'm fine with just having ethernet. Would the DisplayPort work?

Thanks :)
 
I have the BSI7-6500

Current problems im facing :
-audio trough HDMI fixed using RehabMan's Audio HDMI Guide
- No audio SPDIF
- No Wi-Fi

Edit : Native Wi-Fi is possible by changing the network adapter in the Brix to a broadcom : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0156DVQ7G/?tag=tonymacx86com-20

Working :
iGPU acceleration
Ethernet
Wi-Fi (using wifi dongle from D-Link "although this is not adviced")
Appstore, FaceTime,...
All USB ports working
