Will these parts work?
  • Gigabyte GA-H110M-A Micro ATX motherboard Rev 1 (updated to latest BIOS Apr 2017)
  • Gigabyte - GC-WB867D-I PCI-Express x1 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi Adapter (with bluetooth)
  • i5 6500
  • Crucial DDR4 2133 MHz (16GB)
  • ASUS R9 380
Will iMessage work using the bluetooth module integrated on my wifi adapter?
Will wifi work immediately after installation?
Which kext options do I select in clover during installation?
What guide do I follow to keep my current Windows 10 partition and dual boot?
What is the difference between Clover, unibeast, and multibeast? Which would suit my needs best?

I just want to install MacOS and use it the majority of the time, but I want to keep everything on my Windows 10 side for gaming.

Thank you for your help.

The wifi card is not compatible with macOS and will probably never work. Suggest that you pick something from the accessories section of the buyers guide that will work. The Fenvi FV-T919 meets Apple's compatibility specifications and has supported wifi and BT.

The R9 380 information:

You might need to use the HDMI output from your board to see the bootscreen before switching to the GPU output. A simple cheap HDMI switch can be used if you only have one HDMI input on the monitor.
 
Thank you for the links. I will check them out. Though, I will need to obviously get a new GPU and wifi card before I think about it again. I appreciate the suggestion on the wifi card.
