Intel core i7-3770k Build - Is it still possible to run hackintosh?

[alfista9862]

Good morning everyone!

I'm writing this post to ask you a really quick suggestion: I have an old build (which is still running great!) on which I'd like to try to install Mac OS.

Here's the build:

Processor: Intel core i7-3770K
Mobo: Asrock-Z77-Extreme4
RAM: 8GB DDR3
GPU: Msi - Nvidia GTX 1060 3GB

I was wondering if with this components I'll be able to perform (or at least try) a Mac OS installation. What do you think about htis? In past I successfully installed Mavericks but I had a different mobo and gpu, so I'm not sure I'll be able to install Catalina or Big Sur.

Let me know what you think!

Thanks in advice

Let me know what you think!

Will my Nvidia Graphics Card work with macOS ? List of Desktop Cards with Native Support

Preamble for those new to Nvidia graphics card choices for a Hackintosh 1. You will only have success choosing macOS compatible graphics if you remember that: macOS is not Windows 2. Apple incorporates all their graphics drivers into the Mac Operating System. There are only drivers in macOS...

Your graphics card is not supported on MacOS Catalina and Big Sur due to lack of Nvidia drivers.

You can only go High Sierra but no higher if you want to keep using the GTX 1060.

To install and run MacOS Catalina or Big Sur you need to remove the graphics card and use the HD4000 CPU integrated graphics.
