Parts for Gaming Hackintosh

[avere]

Hello! In my search for my perfect computer, I have decided to build my own. My goal is to make a dual-boot computer for gaming on the PC side (mainly Fortnite and Destiny 2, 1440p) and my family’s daily use on the Mac side (grade-school homework, regular home use, nothing too taxing).

I have never done anything like this before, and after much internet research, have come up with this parts list. I would be most grateful if someone could tell me if they see any problems with what I have chosen. Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions! I truly appreciate it!

Everything looks good, though I think I might go with the:

Z390 DESIGNARE because of the thunderbolt 3 support not that your choice is bad or wrong.

I am not sure about other games but I feel like the RX580 8GB handles World of warcraft better then the Vega 64. On 4k full max settings in a city I get 70 FPS on the RX580 but between 55 -60 on the Vega.

Maybe with the few bucks you save on getting a RX 580 if you go that route, you could get a 970 Evo or Evo Pro 500gb M2 NVME drive. Stay away from the Evo Plus they are bad for Hackintosh. Or even replace both SSD with:

Western Digital WD BLACK SN750 M.2 2280 500GB SSD - Newegg.com

Buy Western Digital WD BLACK SN750 NVMe M.2 2280 500GB PCI-Express 3.0 x4 64-layer 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) WDS500G3X0C with fast shipping and top-rated customer service. Once you know, you Newegg!
