I would do a VM first before throwing hardware away. Or go grab a macpro 1,1 and look at my thread here about hackintoshing it into el capitan and running a solid system all around.
Main problem I have right now is using built-in wifi is not possible with a 3150AC but with a 3160 its fine. Kinda fuckin stupid. But oh well. I still don't have a driver for an M275X though....
