Hi all.
I want to know if this PC will work on MacOS Siera?
Specs:
Intel Skylake I3 6100, 3.7Ghz,
Asus B150M-K, microATX,
EVGA GTX 1050 SuperClocked, 2Gb DDR5,
AMD Radeon R7 DDR4, 2400Mhz, 8Gb,
SSD OCZ Deneva, 240Gb, 3,5"
Vinga 400w

Please, let me know if there is something which needs to be changed for MacOS Siera.
Thanks.

The graphics card is unsupported, but you might get this system running if you set up the integrated graphics for the installation. After installation reinstall the GPU and set up the Integrated graphics as the priority graphics.

You will also need to have two digital connections to your monitor - one for macOS using the integrated graphics and the second for Windows from the GPU. Switch inputs on your monitor. You can use a basic and simple HDMI type switch if your monitor does not support multiple digital (non VGA) inputs.

The graphics card is unsupported.
So if I'll buy another one (from list of supported parts) this pic will be good for siera?
I've heard that 100-serie motherboard's have problems with settings of sound. Does it concern me?

Supported graphics cards are listed in the buyers guides. The nvidia 900 series cards will work with the additional nvidia drivers or look for an older GTX 770 4GB card or similar on eBay/Craigslist.

Older supported card models are listed in the older buyers guides - look at 10.8.5 and newer:

The following thread will give some performance level indications to compare cards:

Look at the Geforce specifications web pages (google gefore GTX (insert number here)) for the information on the required power supply ratings of cards before you purchase them. Some cards will need at least a 500W PSU.

Not everyone has audio problems, but a good cheap option is a USB audio solution like the Sabrent listed (8th item down) in the buyers guide > accessories section:
