Hello,
I am a first time Hackintosh builder. I tried to read as much as possible but this is overwhelming, I have to admit.
I hope it's OK for me to put a link to my list of components and ask this community to comment on it.

My plan is to build a dual (or triple boot): MacOS, Windows (and maybe Linux).
Is there any issue I have to be aware of? I am naive and there may be trivial mistakes that are not obvious to me.
I have not yet thought about Wifi and Bluetooth but may add that later if that's OK. Or should I get hardware now?
I read that it's a good idea to keep OSs on separate disks. If that's indeed best, I'll buy more SSDs.
My budget is flexible enough.
Can I get help? I am interested in the most Hackintosh-compatible list of components and if anything in that list (or a combination of components) don't work I'd prefer to change it in advance rather than discover later.
Please excuse me if this post is not proper per the local rules - just let me know and I'd correct.
