My main concern is the Motherboard, I'm thinking a EVGA Z170 Stinger, because it is an all black iTX motherboard with 7.1 Audio. How much of a pain would it be to set up a hackintosh on this motherboard.

You would need to try it to find out. No one that I've seen has tried a Z170 EVGA
system with OS X. I'd guess that it won't be easy seeing all the workarounds that
even Gigabyte boards need to install El Capitan and get it fully working.
 
Buy the Gigabyte Z170X-Gaming 5 mobo. Easier to get a Hackintosh up and running on it.
 
I'm curious if you ever managed to get your project up and running? I have the Z170 stinger and want to build a hackintosh/FreeBSD machine with it! If you did manage to make it work how easy/hard was it?
