Hi, I'm planning on doing my first Hackintosh. It's been a while since I built a computer and this being a project that has more limited hardware requirements, I wanted to get a sober second look.
I want to make sure that I'm not planning to purchase items that won't work or maybe stupid. I've done my research, but another set of eyes would be helpful.

The plan right now is to get the wifi/bluetooth done at a later time. Internet will be ethernet, but I eventually would like to have the handoff features working at some point.
The idea of getting a better video card has been on my mind, but it seems like it's quite a large jump in price.
As always I'm open to any critiques or thoughts on anything. I'm always open to better approaches and better ways of doing this. I'm certainly not an expert with motherboards and for the most part the big differences in price.
Thanks for taking the time to read and I appreciate any thoughts on this.
