my planned mATX build

Hi everyone

This is my first post. I'm just another disappointed Macuser who tries to go a different way.
I'm just done with my shopping list, so here it is, accompanied with the question, if this can be done with success: (it's basically the CustoMac mATX build recommendation of February 2017)

Will the graphics card fit the board and the case?
Will the SSD M.2 work in this configuration?
Should/Could I also go with a Z270 board?

Thanks in advance for helping a hackintosh-noob!

(I already own the graphics card and ram, because I found them for cheap in an auction.)

Yes, the graphics card should fit.

Yes, the M.2 SSD should work fine.

I would stick with a Z170 board at this point; the 200 series are not yet supported.

Allright, parts are ordered. You will here from me soon ;-).
Thanks!

Yes, good luck on your build. Take notes and snap some pics. Post your experience with it in User Builds.

Actually reread it. At first glance read the mobo as Z170X Gaming 5. Which is ATX. Too early in the AM to be posting.
Where's my coffee ?

My Hack is working (so far)!
Installation was easier than I expected. I'll try to post some more details when I can spare a minute.

The PSU became now a Corsair CS 650W, because I found one for 50 bucks. The Wireless/Bluetooth option is not yet installed. I will head for a combined pci-e solution. Details to come.

Thanks for your support!

EDIT:
The Wireless/Bluetooth card just arrived, works out of the box with no additional installation!
