I don't know much about this ..

Hello people from the tonymacx86 forum, I've seen that there are some great people out here. That's also one of the reasons I'm gonna ask this question on here.

My PC parts are:
Motherboard: Intel DX58SO
CPU: Intel core i7 950
GPU: Club3D HD7870 2GBDDR5
Memory: 6GB of DDR 3RAM
Wifi adapter: Qualcomm Atheros ar 9285

So, my questions are:
1. Will these parts be compatible with OS X Sierra?
2. Will my screen be blank when I install OS X Sierra because of the GPU?
3. Does the Intel i7 950 work well in OS X Sierra?
4. If I install OS X Sierra on my HDD, will my Windows data be gone?
5. If my parts aren't compatible, please give me a solution about how to fix this ( kexts and stuff )

Thanks for reading my post, if you have answers on my questions, please let me know !

1. have a search to see if anyone else is using the same motherboard, if not, then you may need to research the specs to see if it is compatible
2. having a search for your gpu may come up with some answers: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/list-of-confirmed-radeon-hd-7xxx-series-10-8-3.92952/
3. should be alright
4. if you have windows on there and you format the drive, then yes, windows will be destroyed. maybe a new hard drive and then you can dual boot if needed
5. maybe worth checking https://www.tonymacx86.com/buyersguide/april/2017 for a complete list of components

The Motherboard is good; although this references an older Mac OS, with some potential tinkering you will be able to get the Motherboard working. https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/mountain-lion-on-intel-dx58so-fully-working.69473/

CPU is good, the Intel core i7 950 will work without issues.

This Graphics Card (GPU) is an unknown, after doing a though search there appears to be no reported success's with this GPU. You may want to look into purchasing an NVIDIA GPU, all of NVIDIA GPU's at this point are pretty much supported.

Your RAM is good, no issues there.

Your WiFi Adapter should be good. https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.164990/


So, my questions are:
1. Probably not the GPU.
2. Probably not, but you wont be able to get graphics execration. This will be a big issue.
3. It will work perfect.
4. You will need to look into partitioning your HDD, or installing Mac OS on a different drive.
5. Look into an NVIDIA GPU, that should be your only issue.

Hope this helped!
