First attempt at Hackintosh - Stuck trying to boot

Hi everyone, I have been lurking a while and followed a few guides here and there and keep hitting the same issue. I have a MacOS High Sierra VM working. This is fine and has enabled me to get the OS sorted on a USB stick. 16gb USB3.0 if that makes a difference.

My issue is, and I have had it a few times on different sticks but always the same error and I think it is to do with the SMBIOS settings. I manage to get the PC to boot but when it gets passed BIOS (No UEFI due to old hardware [Specs Listed below]) it just sits there with a flashing cursor/underscore in the corner with no option of doing anything else.

Look forward to hearing of some helpful hints/tips from the community and hope you all have a nice day.

System Specs:
Intel Xeon X5660

Asus P6x58D-E

6x 8gb DDR3 1600

Gigabyte RX580 8gb

Samsung 240gb SSD

BeQuiet 750W PSU

There is an add in usb3.0 PCIE card used, I believe it is ASMEDIA? but unsure if that would cause any issues.

Thanks.
