I currently use a Late 2013 iMac 27", boasting an i5, a GTX 775M, and a 1TB HDD. Over the course of four years it's become increasingly slow, and I've since been toying around with the thought of building a Hackintosh in which I could throw more extensive tasks at. My main goal is to build something at least twice as fast as my iMac. I set myself a relatively small budget, and this is what I've managed to come up with:

Finding a motherboard that had dual socket LGA1366 slots was difficult, but looking at the SuperMicro X8DTL-IF, it appears to be compatible with all the components I've selected. I intend for the 64GB SSD to plug into one of the PCI-E slots and dual boot macOS and Windows 10, with a 1TB HDD storing the rest of my files. The GTX-780 would drive video. 32GB of RAM sounds nice, albeit 1333MHz DDR3 is pretty deprecated and that's all I can really get out of any of these bizarre dual LGA1366 boards. I have left out a case for the time being, as I'm too picky to decide on one in advance.
My questions are, is this build complete, or are there incompatibilities that I've overlooked? If it is complete, could I do better for the price, or is it not worth purchasing in the first place?
