Understanding if my old gaming PC can run Hackintosh Big Sur for Photoshop / Digital Art

Hi /r/hackintosh - I have an old gaming PC I've kept around that I want to convert into a Hackintosh machine; below are the specs:

  • CPU: Intel i5-4690K Haswell
  • GPU: MSI GTX970 Gaming Twin Frozr (Looking at the compat. FAQ, looks like it's not a good fit)
  • Motherboard: MSI Z97-G49
  • RAM: HyperX Fury 2x8GB (A1 / A3) 2666MHz

I'll be using the machine for digital art & Photoshop power use primarily; maybe Adobe Lightroom & Premier Pro as well - ATM I'm using an old 27' 1440p 60Hz monitor over DisplayPort, and just a basic USB mouse and keyboard.

Ideally I'd like to be able to use the device via WiFi, so need a WiFi card & Bluetooth card as the Z97 has neither. I'll also be using an iPad Pro 4th Gen (2020 Model) for Sidecar.

What do I need hardware-wise to begin? Looking at the FAQ it looks like I'll need to run off integrated graphics, but don't know if everything else is compatible! Sorry for being so stupid!
