Planning my first hackintosh, and first build in 10 years. Thoughts?

Hi all,

I'm planning to build a triple-boot Mac/Linux/Windows box - Mac for rendering/editing and Windows for games. The current Mac is a 2011-era Macbook and showing its age! The parts are pretty close to the tonymacx86 guide.

Some questions

  1. Will it function as a hackintosh? :D How much setup will be involved?
  2. Are all the parts on a reasonably similar level? Nothing too overpowered/underpowered for the rest of the build?
  3. Does the power supply look reasonable?
  4. If I wanted to make this cheaper, what parts should I downgrade?
