Unfortunately, installing OS X was an afterthought when it came to my build, and I seem to have troublesome parts. I have Windows 10 installed on my SSD, and have managed to install El Capitan on my HDD without exploding my computer with the help of many guides. However, I'm having trouble configuring the rest. I've done some research on my specific mobo, and have found that there's issues with the onboard wifi affecting sleep/wake/shutdown. People also have used boot flags, which I'm not familiar with, in the installation process. Also in Multibeast, there are currently 2 options in Quick Start, UEFI or Legacy, while others recommend "DSDT-Free" and "Easybeast." Not sure if I have to take extra steps for these options to appear, or that these guides are just dated (I'm guessing it was for different bootloaders). I've been scouring the internet trying to find the best settings for me, but I can't even get it to boot up correctly from the hard drive (neither UEFI or Legacy options work for me).
Another thing to add is that my CPU has Intel HD 4600 graphics integrated, which I'm sure would be easier to work with. Should I go this route instead of the R9 390? One of the main reasons for a Hackintosh was to get more experience with OS X and software in general for my computer science classes, so I wouldn't mind putting in more time to make the video card work. I've read I have to use R9 2xx drivers and that even then there are still issues. Also, would I have to buy a compatible adapter in order to make wifi work?
Thanks in advance for any answers or general advice provided. And sorry for possibly asking such basic questions; this is brand new to me.
