Why not the i7-3770 ? Remember that we are using the Mac mini 6,1 or 6,2 system definition which is for 2012 minis not the 2011 versions. If the 3770 costs slightly more it's probably worth it.I have an i5-3550 installed but will be attempting to switch to an i7-2600 for its hyperthreading once my fan adapters arrive from China.
Good to hear the guide was easy to implement and worked well for you. It was community member @Sniki that resolved the USB problems on these Dells. So he deserves credit for how well this works too.I've just finished setting up an Optiplex 7010 SFF with this guide and it was about as seamless as is possible.
The NVS510 by Nvidia (Dell and HP branded) is basically the same card (GK107) as the Quadro K600 but has 2GB of vram and 4 mini DP outputs. So if anyone needs 2 or 3 4K monitors they want to run for video and photo editing, Autocad etc. The NVS510 is another great choice. Sells for about 60 USD on Ebay. You'll need to buy some adapters if you don't have a monitor that takes miniDP input. Note that these cards are not intended for gaming purposes.While looking for a graphics card, I found that the Kepler-based Quadro cards (K410, K420, K600) are low-profile and have DisplayPort 1.2 compatibility.
You might be able to do that in the BIOS. If not I think you could install Windows and change it that way. I've never owned one of these but one person reported getting an HP 8300 AIO working with HD4000. You did get the version with the i7-3770S installed right ? If so try connecting an HDMI cable to the back panel (#4 port) and plug it into a known working monitor with an HDMI input. That will at least tell you whether it works at all.how to change display output monitor/hdmi/vga to LCD BUILTIN.

I noticed that you have added several ssdt.aml files to your guide, but I see no mention of HOW TO USE them, or where to place them.

OK @Grizz I took a look at the problems you are having with Acronis. Looks like the 2017 version has a problem seeing the APFS formatted macOS drive when you are booting from Win10 PE SE. When I try to open the drive in Windows Explorer (AKA File Explorer) it asks me if I want to format the drive. Since we've booted from a Win10 PE USB Drive, Acronis thinks we are making a Clone on a PC instead of on a Mac.
So it probably isn't going to work this way. When I cloned HS (HFS+) it worked with no problems. I think that ATI 2017 came out before Apple was even using APFS at all. What you can do is use Super Duper to make a clone or if you want to buy Acronis 2019 and install it on your CustoMac that will work to make a clone.
Here's a link to where you can buy ATI 2019. Newegg also has deals and discounts if you sign up for email blasts from them.

This gives you 3 licenses for $13.33 each. You can use one and sell the other two to your friends or family to help save some money. It's important to have this on a Hackintosh as you've discovered, a lot of things can and will go wrong.
Do not buy the ISO versions that sell for $5 or less from Ebay as they are all pirated. As we say, don't feed the pirates by paying them for what they've stolen.
Here's a video demo showing how easy it is to clone with Acronis TI 2019 installed on your CustoMac.
