Hardware Configuration - Info (Nvme m.2 , Kabylake or coffelake)

[Montelli]

Hi, I'm build my pc with KabyLake:

CPU: i7- 7700K
MOBO: ASUS Prime Z270-A
Dissip. : cooler Master Seidon 120mm V3 Plus
RAM: Corsair CMD16GX4M2B3200C16 Dominator Platinum 2x8GB
GPU: Sapphire Nitro RX 580 4GB o 8 GB
HD: Western Digital Black 1TB
SSD: Samsung 960 EVO M.2 Nvme PCIe
Combo Wifi+Bluetooth
Case: Zalman z9 Neo White
optical reader: LG - GH24NSD1 Masterizzatore DVD-RW

I have doubts:
- the SSD M.2 Nvme is 100% compatible with hackintosh?
-If I go to the corsair site in the compatibility tab of the ram desk, there isn't Z270 chipset ... Possible, is not compatible?
- the choice of the power supply has fallen on a 650W Evga Gold ... the manual sum of the various components gave me 436W (some of them on the site of the manufacturer did not give me the W therefore I followed a general line found on the web ...) ... then I used the online outervision calculator that gave me a load wattage of 488W and a reccomended psu wattage of 538W, is this calculator reliable? do I take that as a reference? What then according to the calculations I made: 100/650 * 485 = 75% load ... in base to the plus gold table, at a load of 50% the efficiency ratio is 92%: 488 / 0.92 = 530 so 42W dissipated in heat, while the other 120W can be dedicated to future upgrades and overclocking? So it's a "good" feeder?
-For a change of course...Hackintosh work fine on the Coffe Lake i7 8700K processor? There is a guide? Which mobo do you recommend?
Thank You

High Sierra supposedly has native support for NVMe SSDs. But you will have to try to see if it really recognizes your SSD.

Z270 with the Kaby Lake CPUs are compatible with MacOS Sierra 10.12.6 and High Sierra. I am using the 7700K and MacOS Sierra 10.12.6 on my main hackintosh system.

8700K apparently is natively recognized by High Sierra. For a guide search on the forum to see others who successfully install High Sierra on a Coffee Lake system.

I wanna buy Samsung MZ-V6E500BW SSD 960 EVO, 500 GB so it will be compatible...

However apart from this talk hackintosh, I must buy coffee lake or, can I buy kabylake and be comfortable in the future? Thanks
