Is this build compatible with Hackintosh

I'm pretty sure anything with a 64 bit processor be a hackintosh

How can I check if my hardware is compatible with hackintosh? I only have to check motherboard correct?

As per the Forum CoC, we cannot discuss details on Hackintosh on linustechtips.com so I'll instead direct you to the same site that Linus himself has referenced in multiple videos on the YouTube channel, which shouldn't be a problem since that would kind of be a little ironic.

I can confirm everything in your build is compatible except for the memory. I'm not saying the memory you have chosen won't work, I just can't confirm it will work.

In a nutshell, if it's a recent Intel platform, it'll be relatively easy to install macOS on it. For AMD systems, be prepared for a barrage of problems ranging from random slow downs to constant kernel panics. We can't discuss any further than that. As others' have noted, TonyMacx86 is a good source. Another one I've used is Hackintosh Zone. There are dozens of tutorials on YouTube so you can check those out as well.

I think the motherboard might have issues. I think Gigabyte is the best for Hackintoshes.

Nope. You can Hackintosh a Ryzen CPU and have everything work.

That requires custom kernels and patches. That is not using the vanilla tonymacx86 method.

The motherboard is on the official list of supported motherboards on tonymacx86.

It can be done, but it is not practical. Custom kernels are very unstable and updating mac OS will be extremely difficult.

You do realize we are talking about running macOS on a PC right? It was already impractical to begin with.

Macs are PC's with a high price tag, different keyboard layout, and an apple logo.
