Catalina ready new build help

Hi r/hackintosh.

I'm looking to build a new machine for a bit of music production (hankering for logic) and some software development.
I've spent quite a bit of time looking into hackintosh guides and whatnot, but it's also just been quite a lot of time since building a computer.

I'm currently using usb wifi on my windows machine which I've heard is either bad / a waste of time with a hackintosh.
So this is a bit of a buildapc+hackintosh mashup.

Anyway, the rough parts list I have is this (I'm Australian, and pretty much referencing http://cdn.msy.com.au/Parts/PARTS.pdf to pick up all my gear from):
* GPU: 8GB RX 580 MSI Armor OC (perhaps the 570 for much cheaper. I think the 580 is a native card found on macs? Or close to - so should have ongoing support?)
* CPU: Pretty much any of the intel coffee/skylake cards there - i5-9500 most likely.
* Mobo: Here I'm a bit stuck. I know MSI and AsRock are out of question, Asus PRIME B365M-A is one I'm looking at.* * Storage: Got a stack of SSD / HDDs available.
* Ram: 16GB DDR4 I think should do the trick?

  • WRT mobo: I want native wifi, and I'm looking at stuff like the Broadcom BCM943602CS 802.11AC WiFi+Bluetooth 4.0 PC Desktop WLAN Card for Mac OS you can find on ebay.
    I'm not super familiar with PCI-e and whatnot, is there anything in this build that would already be utilising that slot? Is that card even PCI-e? Is that all I'd need to get wifi up and running?

Ultimately looking for anything glaringly wrong with the parts list, and assistance with the wifi.

Thank you kindly.
