Alright everyone, so here's the scoop. I want to build a PC that can dual boot Windows and Mac; be great for gaming on Windows, and good for video editing on the Mac side. Using an IN WIN 301 mATX case. If this works out I may also be posting a follow up guide on how it turned out.
Now I have done enough research to know how the Hackintosh process works, but still have some questions as it pertains to hardware.
Right now I plan on using the following gear:
ASUS STRIX mATX Z270 LGA1151 Logic Board: - Worried about the onboard Wi-Fi and Bluetooth not working, but it seems the board is compatible according to some forums. - Also not sure how the audio will work? As this is a smaller sized build the more onboard items / the less external cards the better.
INTEL 4.2GHz Quad Core i7 7700k "Kabylake" Processor: - With the release of the new MacBook Pro's that use Kabylake, I assume it is now compatible?
EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Superclocked 8GB GPU: - Now I have seen multiple Hackintosh builds with the 1080, so I assume this is all fine.
Also planning on using: - GSkill DDR4 3200Mhz (2x16GB) - EVGA Supernova 650W power supply - Two Samsung EVO 512GB SSD's one for Windows and one for Mac. - Two Dell 24" 1440p monitors

Does this look like a smart build? Are there any issues beyond the usual quirks of Hackintosh that are concerning with this setup?
Cheers!!
