After getting sick of playing Portal 2 on my 2010 MacBook Pro, I wanted to build a Hackintosh. But, after getting some very harsh criticism from my friends, I'm starting to question my build's power. Here's the list of parts (tower only):
Intel i5-9600k
Thermaltake CLP0534 22.35 CFM
Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver 3.5 g Thermal Paste
Gigabyte Z390 I AORUS PRO WIFI Mini ITX Motherboard
G.Skill - Trident Z RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-2400 Memory
2 X Samsung 860 EVO 500GB 2.5" SATA SSD
Sapphire Radeon RX 580 8 GB PULSE Video Card
Case: BitFenix Prodigy
Case Fans: 3 X Cooler Master Blade Master 76.8 CFM 120mm
Going to run on High Sierra and Windows 10 dual boot.
I'm pretty sure all of this is compatible, but the thing I'm worried about is the Trident Z RGB RAM, as it isn't on the Buyer's Guide list that most of the parts came from (don't judge me, it looks hecka cool). Also, I don't plan on using too much space when it comes to the SSDs, that's why I got two 500GBs and not two smaller ones and a big terabyte-sized one. I've also been told that the graphics card is way under powered, I need some input on that.
Thanks in advance to whoever stumbles across this thread and helps me out, I really appreciate it.

EDIT: When I say CAD, I mean Canadian Dollars, not Computer Assisted Design.
EDIT 2: Fixed some formatting issues. Seems like the mods edited this post, so I fixed some sentence structure issues and such.
