Recently I got a second hand desktop,

Here’s the specs:

CPU: i7-3770k
MotherBoard: unbootable Gigabyte H77N-WiFi
Memory: Kingston 8Gx1
Hard Drive: Kingston SSD 480G
Graphic Card: None

I’m going to buy a second hand Gigabyte Z77N-WiFi and EVGA’s GTX 1060 to replace.

Is it still capable to install the latest macOS ?

I’m afraid of some driver issues.
 
The processor will be just fine, I am running High Sierra on a i5-3570. GFX should work as well.

I not very knowledgeable about motherboards, so I can't tell you much there.

Are you worried about your system not being able to run MacOS High Sierra? If so I don't think you need to worry. An Ivy Bridge system like yours and even older Sandy Bridge systems are capable of running High Sierra.

Are you certain the H77N-WIFI board is dead?
 
I run an I7-3770 CPU in my HP 8300 hackintosh and it works great with latest version of High Sierra. Benchmarking it is faster in both single and multicore than my MacBookPro with Touchbar...
