I'm building a PC this new year. I've sorted out the parts that I have decided to buy, with a budget not over a few dollars above $1000.
My aim is to build a hackintosh with a working discrete GPU for media creation and programming with a good number of emulators. Along with that, gaming on the Windows side, with games like PUBG, Escape From Tarkov and other demanding games at a decent Video Setting.


The list is as follows:

i7-7700K 4.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
Cooler Master - Hyper T2 54.8 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Asus PRIME H270-PLUS-CSM ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance LED 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory (16 GB)
Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" SSD
MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Video Card
Corsair 100R ATX Mid Tower Case
Corsair CX (2017) 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply[
TP-Link Archer T9E PCI-Express x1 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi Adapter


I'm also willing to add an HDD so that I can do the slower tasks on that while booting and gaming from the SSD.

Side note, I'm from India, and I'm willing to import a few of these parts just because of the ridiculous prices here. Any pointers and tips are much appreciated.
While I don't think that there are any compatibility issues, I'd like to here some of your opinions.

Thanks

Yes. They will be compatible.

Be aware that for a dual booting station (Mac/PC) it is advised to use two different disks, not a partitioned one. Also be aware that you will probably need two USB sticks, one to boot mac, and the other to boot Win.
 
Why would I need USB sticks? is it for the installation? Also, with my budget, partitioning is my best method. Can you elaborate the issues might run into?
