Hello, although I have general knowledge about computers, I have never installed Hackintosh in my life.

I have an i3-6100, 8GB RAM, and an SSD. As for the motherboard, my second-hand options are the MSI Z270 Gaming Pro Carbon and the Asus H110M-K. Honestly, my only goal in installing Hackintosh is to browse the internet and experience macOS.
So, the most important thing for me is installation ease. Which of these two motherboards would be easier for someone like me who knows nothing about Hackintosh? Also, would there be any performance difference?

Z270 G.P.C
Usb: ASMedia® ASM2142 Chipset And Intel® Z270 Chipset
Audio: Realtek® ALC1220
Ethernet: Intel® I219-V Gigabit LAN controller

H110m-k
Usb: Intel® H110 chipset
Audio: Realtek ALC887
Ethernet: Realtek® RTL8111H

If the Z270 is within your budget, definitely that's the right choice. More power options, plus good hardware. Avoid Realtek crap.

Thanks for the answer, I bought the z270 motherboard, I hope it won't hassle me

Not at all, if you follow the guides precisely.
