Hi all,
Great to see such an active and helpful community around the hackintosh project. After finding out it was actually possible to build a supreme mac without the excessive costs I decided it was worth the investment and time to build my very first Hackintosh. I've decided to go for a dual boot Hackintosh in order to use a windows partition for gaming and the mac partition for music production.
I've followed a combination of these two guides:

https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...7-8700k-rx-580-2x-dell-p2715q-4k-60hz.252989/
I managed to get High Sierra installed and booted, so far everything works fine (audio too). In Multibeast I selected and installed the following:
Audio: AppleALC, Audio ALC887/888b
Disk: None
Misc: Left the greyed out FakeSMC
Network: IntelMausiEthernet V2.4.0 (using wifi for now, will use ethernet for gaming when everything is configurated and I extended a cable to my room)
USB: 7/8/9 Series USB Support, Remove XHCI USB Port Limit, USBInjectAll
Boot: Clover UEFI Boot Mode
Customize Grafics: Inject ATI
System Definition: iMac 18,3
All good so far, however as soon as I started with clover I messed things up and did a clean install again in order to start from scratch. What I did before I couldnt boot the OS anymore:
Clover:
Skipped the Acpi settings
Boot: kext-dev-mode=1, rootless=0, dart=0, verbose
I saved my config and overwrote the config.plist in EFI/Clover folder. I've set "clover countdown" to 3 and after the countdown it loads gives me a bunch of text and gets stuck. It wouldn't reboot with the -x bootflag. I can get back to my OS via the initial Unibeast USB with additional flags of usb-injection and usb ownership otherwise it gets stuck at roughly 1/10th of the loading bar with the apple logo.
Basically I was able to boot from USB, but not from OS. Copied my EFI folder of USB to OS-drive which completely fixed it.
