I got interested in the Hackintosh community, and I wanted to know if my gaming rig was Hackintosh-able. Here are the specs and some pictures:

CPU: Intel Core i7-10700F @ 2.9 GHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte B460M DS3H AC-Y1
BIOS Version: F1
RAM: Crucial 16 GB DDR4 SDRAM
GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super
Storage: 500 GB SSD (Windows 10) + 1 TB HDD (blank)

Here's a picture of my PC

My main concern if the system is hackintosh-able is how many drivers I'll need to hunt down if any, along with what will and won't work out of the gate, plus the type of Bootloader that works best, what BIOS changes need to happen, and finally if Big Sur will allow me to install it on the blank HDD.

Any help is appreciated

What about everything else?
It seems doable, I googled our motherboard and hackintosh and this link seems to show its possible

As mentioned, above, macOS does not support nVidia GPUs, so that's probably your biggest stumbling block

You can compare your system config with success stories on hackintosh subreddit.

I bought parts for a second system to build a hackintosh but ended up giving it to my nephew. Will just use another NVME SSD in my main rig.

Your parts are fine, save for the GPU.

That problem is fairly acute since your F series chip has no iGPU at all.
