I figured I might need macOS for Final Cut Pro on my PC. That means I should be able to dual boot Windows and Mac. Since I'm just starting out with the hackintosh community, I'm unsure if my components will work. Here are the parts I have; please let me know if you think I could run a version of macOS and which one it would be. I've heard Sierra can be problematic with 10 series cards, so I don't expect it to be reliable right now.

Wouldn't it be better to stick with the tools you already have? Running the movie editing software seems like a smart choice.

Hackintoshing breaks Apple's EULA, so it’s not allowed here.
Your components are mostly fine now; just build an installer on another Mac using Unibeast.
Your GPU isn’t supported—RX4xx works, GTX10xx don’t and likely won’t. Nvidia hasn’t released official Maxwell drivers for OS X even though current ones do (experimental).
Adobe Premiere is a better option than FCPX. If you really need FCPX, switch to a Mac or upgrade your graphics cards.
