Hackintoshes are notoriously picky about hardware. It has to be entirely parts that Apple supports down to individual chips.  It’s so bad people generally leave design to experts and follow pre done formulas.  The cpu, motherboard, and memory are going to be the ones that could cause problems.  

the case, drives, and PSU won’t matter.  Memory might not either, but it’s best to check anyway.
It’s possible that OSX can partially but not completely support a motherboard as well.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.
