Hi everyone! This is going to be the first computer/Hackintosh that I will be building, so I just wanted to get feedback from the Hackintosh community.
I have already visited and read up on all the compatible components from this site, and this is what I've come up with.
However, while I was trying to congregate my build, I noticed that case fans, fans controllers, thermal compound, and ups system were not covered (or compatible parts were not listed on TonyMac), so I'm a bit confused on what to purchase, if I even need them at all. Will I need a cooler? An air cooler or a liquid cooler?
The case that I want to use is the Bit Fenix Micro ATX, Mini-ITX Motherboard Case so it will be on the smaller side.
My network adapter will be this item by Fenvi for Continuity and Handoff support. We have a router with multiple devices connected to it, so I'm not sure if I am able to directly connect to it through Ethernet(?) cable and the components I need to do that.
My intended use for this Hackintosh would be for dual booting between
and
Can you please advice me if and where I can improve on my build, and if there are better (cheaper) options that won't sacrifice a lot of the performance I need to handle my tasks?
Thank you for taking some of your time to leave a bit of feedback!

My intended use for this Hackintosh would be for dual booting between
Sierra (Photoshop, Illustrator, Light Room [large files] and coding)
and
Windows 10 (gaming on max/near max settings [preferred games to play are League of Legends, Overwatch, and PUBG], illustration, and using other miscellaneous programs not available on Sierra)
