@varito28,

It will work as a hackintosh (via Intel IGPU) but you will have to disable the RX6700 via a SSDT-Disable-DGPU.aml
as it is not supported under macOS.
 
Sapphire NITRO+ AMD RADEON RX 6700 XT GAMING 12GB GDDR6
Best to change this to either an AMD Radeon RX6600XT or a RX6800XT for native macOS Monterey support.
Which one you pick will depend on your budget limits and what these cards sell for locally.

thanks so much for the info, you saved my life haha.. i will go to check these cards :)
 
Also you may change the Samsung 980 Pro, which has TRIM issues, for a WD 750/850, and save on the CPU by going for a i9-10850K or 10900—unless extreme overclocking is intended, your friend will not notice any performance difference with the 10900K.

Last details:
The Startech Firewire card is probably OK, but check that it has a Texas Instrument controller.
RX 6600 (XT) will require Monterey or newer, which may be an issue if the build is for music production using old software/plugins (that FireWire card must have some use…). Of course, if GPU demand is low the build can even run on the iGPU.

Ok thanks for your help

This computer is for mount and render music videoclips and music studio recording.

My friend have a ‘Saffire Pro 40’ Audio Device (via Firewire) Do you think about the compatibility?

Thanks again to all community :)
