Installing MacOSX on empty HDD (specs in post)

This is my first post, and I don't know anything about Hackintosh computers. I have searched a bit to see if my components are compatible with MacOS, but I want some reassurance.

Specs:

  • Processor: Intel Core I7 4790K (LGA1150)

  • Motherboard: Asus Maximus VI Hero Z87

  • Graphics card: Gigabyte R9 280X Windforce

  • RAM: Corsair Vengeance CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9 16GB

  • HDD: Samsung 750EVO, 2x 500GB WD Black (1 unused to install MacOS)

I also don't have any other computer to work with (except for a laptop). Just want to install it on an empty HDD and try to launch it from there, so I can still choose in the bios what drive I want to boot from (and keep my windows install and steam library intact) :)

Luckely my brother has access to a real mac (macbook) to download the OS. (PS: is this free or does this cost money?)

I want to build a Hackintosh because I don't want to spend a lot of money for an iMac or any other device, just to see how it feels. Even trying to get FCPX to make the switch from Premiere Pro.

Thanks in advance!
