The Buyer's Guide has all the proven hardware and the Forums have loads of good info, waiting for the curious person to find gold. Hope you find what you need! Cheers!

The system you configured should be compatible with MacOS High Sierra and Mojave. Personally I would consider using either an Asus or Gigabyte motherboard as it seems to me they work better with MacOS.

Note that the i5 9400F does not have CPU integrated graphics but as you are going to use a supported graphics card it should not matter.

Use iMacPro1,1 for personality since it has no on-chip GPU. I don't know about B365 motherboards. ASRock Z370 and Z390 motherboards work very well.

Spend the extra coin for a ASRock Z390M Pro4.
Get Fenvi FV-T919 AC1750 Dual Band PCIE Desktop Wireless Adapter
Most of the SSDs out there work well.
Get HP EX950 SSD. It is faster. I have the 2TB version. Works great.

i’m considering Gigabyte B365M Aorus Elite or Gigabyte Z370 Aorus Ultra Gaming. but the price for Z370 is 2x B365.

i’m looking for ready stock wifi card in my country. most online stores sell wifi card from abroad so it takes up to 2 months for shipping.
*found BCM943602CS ready stock. maybe i’m buying that.


*Asus Prime Z370-P II taking into consideration too.

The integrated graphics is used for video transcoding. So if you get an intel CPU without it then QuickTime/iMovie performance could be significantly affected. If you don't do video editing, or rarely do so you may not care. Just something I thought you should know.

btw, I love your choice of power supply!!

Nice choices. It should run macOS really well.

Don't worry about lack of IGPU. As macs_forever suggested, use iMacPro1,1 system definition and you will have hardware encoding/decoding/transcoding done by the RX 570.

*just read your edited post. so that would be no problem with video encoding if i use iMacPro1,1 ?
any other issues if i don’t have iGPU ?
