Inquiries about hackintosh compatibility
You're starting with Hackintosh and aiming to run both Windows 10 and macOS. Given your specs—i5 9600K, ASRock Z390 GX 1060, 8GB RAM—choose an OS that balances performance and stability. macOS might be more challenging, but Windows 10 is widely supported. Consider lightweight distributions like Lubuntu or Xubuntu if you prefer a smoother experience.
Upgrade to a Vega 20 or RX 5700XT from AMD. Install a compatible Wi-Fi card. Add an extra 8GB RAM stick. Check the tonymacx86 site for compatible components.
I typed in my RAM specs—16GB—but do I really need an AMD GPU? I’m on a tight budget, so I’m just testing apps and VMs. They’re not working.
Dude, don't worry, you can use the integrated gpu from the 9600K, to put things in perspective the latest Mac mini's from 2018 only have igpus I would suggest you start here: https://hackintosh.gitbook.io/-r-hackint...top-guide/ in case you are curious about the current state of gpus compatibility: https://khronokernel-3.gitbook.io/catali...ers-guide/ Have Fun!
You have options—either run your iGPU with Catalina, Mojave, or another version, or use the GPU which restricts you to High Sierra.
