Here's an example of a Motherboard CPU and Ram combo that would work for you. You could also add in an RX560 graphics card. Any brand other than XFX. That can support one 4K monitor via DP. You can't game at 4K with it. Best to scale down to 1080p for playing GTA V.

Okay, As your suggestion, I won't use 4k monitor, gaming.

My choice brands :
1) Mother board (Gigabyte)
2) CPU (Intel i5)+cooler
3) RAM (4x2=8)
4) SSD (250Gb)
5) Graphic (2Gb)
6) PSU
7) CASE
8) Monitor
9) etc

I don't know weather i have to buy wifi+Bluetooth cards or is it inbuilt with mother board. I am confused with Guide like TPlink cards and etc.

Give me one final list which doesn't need any doubts

If you give complete list including monitor. I just go and buy it without second taught. I will assembled it. Then i will come to you about SOftware installation after purchase done.

It would be very easy for you to choose the rest of your components from the Buyer's Guide. If you can't order from Amazon or Newegg.com then you'll have to find these items at the store nearest you. I have no idea where you will be buying parts from or what your budget is so I'm not going to make all the choices for you. Choose them from the Buyer's Guide and they will work with Mojave. Make sure you get a microATX case for your microATX motherboard. It won't fit in an ITX case.

For your wifi and BT card the best all in one solution is the Fenvi FV-T919 that you install in a PCIe x1 slot.

Yeah all good, One final question.

My selected list from Guide :

+Crucial Ballistix Sport LT (8GB)
+ Monitor +keyboard +mouse

Q1) Where is cpu cooler + Fan ?
Q2) is Graphic card is necessary to run hackintosh? if it is not necessary then what graphic card is for, other builds(customac pro, etc) have graphic card but why BudgetmacATX not having in list? why?

Is anything need beyond these?

Is my selected list are good?

 

[trs96]

Where is cpu cooler + Fan ?

In the box from Intel that has the CPU.

is Graphic card is necessary to run hackintosh?

No, you can use the UHD 630 graphics.

Is anything need beyond these?

you will need a a 8 or 16 GB USB flash drive to make your Unibeast installer. Get a good quality 450-500 Watt PSU. Go with a name brand like Corsair or EVGA. All else you've picked should work.

The CS 550M should provide plenty of power. If that is not available get the RM550x instead.

WiFi+BT card
is wifi+BT comes with motherboard or do i need to add extra card for wifi+BT
TP-Link Archer T9E AC1900 Wireless WiFi PCIe network Adapter Card for PC

If you want BT and wifi then get the FV-T919 from Fenvi

Keyboard +Mouse
Do i use windows kayboard +mouse for hackintosh ?

You can use a windows keyboard and mouse. You would just need to use the Windows key for the Mac Command key. You can also remap the keys in macOS if you'd like to.
