Hi,

in my attempt to replace my old C2Q system (which ran very fine most of the time) I am looking for am mainboard.

So I have two questions and I hope you can help me.

-How easy is it to get macOS up and running on coffee lake? The i5-8400 looks interesting to me

Is a lot of patching and fiddling required? I could throw almost any update to my old hack without any hassle and without breaking anything.

-Which mainboard would you recommend? Not too expensive (don't need a high-end rig), PCI slot would be nice (for my Soundblaster), USB-C would be a nice bonus but no must-have. Cusomizable fan-control in UEFI (curves and stuff) would be fantastic.

I'd pair it with my RX 560 4GB and 16GB RAM.

Thank you in advance!
 
After some research I will go with the GIGABYTE Z370 HD3P.
