New to hackintosh (First timer) want to try it on a vm.

okay, im not the biggest enthusiast in this kind of stuff and im not gonna pretend to understand anything and I am under your guy's guidance.

first of all my specs:

case: h700i by nzxt (doesn't matter but whatever)

gpu: gtx 1080 strix* by asus (ill say more on this later)

cpu: i7 8700k by intel

ssd: 970 pro by samsung

hdd: I can check but its just a cheapo 1tb drive I use for mass storage

mobo: z370-h by asus

ram: 16gb 2400mhz (on xmp of course) vengeance by corsiar

cpu cooler: h150i by corsair (does it matter?)

psu: hx850i from corsair (pretty overkill, but my old tx750m broke so I swapped it and I have plans for an sli rig way before I have plans to switching the cpu so.. yeah.)

for peripherals: all razer stuff

monitors: triple monitor setup, a 2k 144hz Samsung monitor, an old led Samsung 1080p 60hz and an even cheaper mag 1080p 60hz one.

my internet speed is a steady 100mbp/s download and 2mbp/s upload and an average of 15ms

So, having never ever tried opening anything other than the windows desktop and apps like games and such, im a software newbie (im pretty experienced on the hardware side tho, having about 6 pcs that ive built) and what I want to make, with your help is a vm (2 cores 4 threads, so pretty underpowered) and using the integrated graphics* (leaving the gpu to the windows vm with 4 cores, if possible)

this vm is temporary, I want to waste time on this mostly for learning how to and why to, less actually using macos (the only mac device ive used is a 2013 MacBook air and that was for about 5 minutes last year.) so instructions on how to break it up later will be very much appreciated.

any hardware thats not compatible with macOS that I need to swap I will but will REALLY prefer if I dont have to.

hope I can get this up and running so I can learn more about the hackintosh world.

thanks in advance~
