After about two months of lurking and researching I've nailed together an initial build list for my first Hackintosh. If you guys could look it over and provide any advice, it'd be much appreciated. Note that I do not do any gaming which is why I have opted to use the i5 8400's integrated graphics to start off with. I'll be purchasing a graphics card likely soon.

Notes: -The SSD is for OS & Applications. I already have a 1.5 TB 3.5" HDD for data, files and such. -I'm planning to put another 8GB of RAM in, but for the sake of my wallet, I'm going to give it a month or two.
Thoughts? Advice? Thank you
Edit: Sorry if I have put the wrong flair on this post. To be honest the flair descriptions seem somewhat overlapping and confusing. Maybe I'm just new and ignorant. Help, Question and Request seem like the same general thing to me.
