Since your CPU does not support the SSE4.1 instruction set, you can only install up to El Capitan. Your intention to install Sierra on your PC is unrealistic Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/357149-plz-can-you-help-me-with-the-correct-choice-of-macos-for-my-configuration/#findComment-2807999 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, we recommend creating the installation from the original Apple DMG. There are various installation tutorials available on insanelymac (in the AMD section). Users have published many video tutorials on YouTube, which are worth checking out. Please note that you need to download the appropriate AMD kernel for your CPU, specifically for "FX CPU," from the download section. Also, ensure that you set up your PC's BIOS accordingly for macOS before installing it.
