Help with this configuration

[Gabi]

Hello everyone

In the first instance, I want to thank you for your help.

I'm trying to build a hackintosh. I have read a little bit about hardware that I need and I have chosen these elements according to use and price.

Is it totally compatible? I mean, no additional configuration.

Motherboard --> Gigabyte Z490 UD
CPU --> Intel Core i5-10400 2.90 GHz
RAM --> Kingston HyperX Fury Black DDR4 3200Mhz 32GB CL16
SSD --> Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB SSD NVMe M.2
Graphic Card --> Gigabyte Aorus Radeon RX 580 8G GDDR5
Power Supplies --> Corsair TX650M 650W 80 Plus Gold Is it enough powerful?
Adapter Wifi-BT-Airdrop --> fenvi PC Hackintosh WiFi & BT WiFi Card 802.11a/g/n/AC WLAN + BT 4.0 PCI-E Network Adapter Mac-Compatible Wi-Fi AirDrop Handoff

I am going to install big sur

Could I change the motherboard for another one cheaper?


Thanks
Regards!!

You may be able to use a cheaper motherboard based on a cheaper chipset like H470 and B460, but remember this : that it seems (to me at least) that the majority of builders who opt to use Intel 10th generation hardware opt to use Z490 motherboards, so if you use a cheaper motherboard and then encounter problems, it may be more difficult to find help.

Your power supply should be good enough for your build.

Thanks for your answer. I assume that this configuration is correct, isn't it?

Not sure about the WiFi as I don't use one, but otherwise, yes, your build should be compatible with MacOS Catalina and Big Sur with OpenCore as bootloader.
