This is my first "real" Hackintosh since my first attempt 10 years ago. The information below is to help others with a similar config, for my own reference in case something goes wrong, and for others to tell me what I did wrong or how I could improve.
I was trying to decide between this Asus board and the Gigabyte Designare. Wound up sticking with the Asus since I didn't really need the onboard Thunderbolt and the Asus didn't appear to have the SATA limitations the Gigabyte board did when using M.2 drives. I think you can't go wrong in either case.
