Hey guys! First timer here. I feel egoistically well. :)
I've managed to got it working. Great guides and community!
Here is my specs, and then I want to ask about help with some issue.
________________________________________________________
Mobo: AsRock Z97 Anniversary
CPU: Intel i7 4790 (non K)
RAM: 16GB (2 x Hynix 1333Mhz & 2 Samsung 1333MHZ)
GPU: Asus Strix RX 470 8GB OC
SSD: Transcend 64GB (I have plans to move to bigger one)
Monitor: AOC 27" (Mojave shows it as 2700)

Bios settings:
1.Load optimized settings (F9)
2.VT-d Disabled
3.Save and exit.

After that everything booted normally (without flags), was able to install the OS by following the installation guide without problems.

After reboot at loading screen first half was normal, then the monitor flickered for a second and became violet-blueish. I've made the setup, logged in and it remained that way. I've tried many of the troubleshootings from here and non is working.
Then I've tried to swap cables (currently DVI-D(pc end) to HDMI(monitor end))
When I switched to HDMI to HDMI, the monitor stoped receiving signal, went to sleep.

So is there any chance that this inverted colors type of bs comes from the type of cable? Or should I inject something further with MB?
If you have some type of workaround, just ping me here. Thanks for your time!

EDIT:Finally! Everything in tact. So the blue-violet layer on my screen was due DVI - HDMI cable.
I swapped the cable for HDMI on both ends. Booted once in other OS then rebooted and logged in Mojave and bam it works perfect! Thanks to the tonymacx86 community! I hope this post help someone.
 
These cables. Been there.
Congrats on the new Hackintosh and welcome! This community is really great.

By the way, did the graphics card work straight "out of the box"?
I have an nVidia GTX 1050 Ti so I didn't upgrade to Mojave yet.

Thanks and Yes. When I was creating bootable usb with UB, I ticked the "injectATI" option. Not sure if that helped. But first thing I did when logged was to check "About this Mac" just to see what is recognized and what else remains to be done. So yeah I think that counts for "out of the box".
