Need help picking parts (UPDATED) "Can the CPU cooler run the overclock i want to push?"

[ItsBinary]

So i am building a hackintosh for video editing, 2D animation, and graphic design in the Adobe suite. I have these parts picked out currently:

CPU: Intel Core i5-8600K ($280.98)
CPU Cooler: Corsair H55 ($49.99)
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z370 HD3P ($103.98)
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 16GB 2400MHz (Already Bought)
Storage: Samsung 860 EVO 250GB 2.5" SSD ($55.99)
GPU: MSI Radeon RX 560 AERO ITX 4GB ($129.99)
Case: Corsair Carbide SPEC-04 ($44.99)
PSU: EVGA B3 550W 80+ Bronze Certified Fully Modular ($39.99)
OS: OSX High Sierra
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CURRENT TOTAL: $705.91 USD *UPDATED*

Budget is $700, decided on these parts. But im curious if the CPU cooler is a good choice for overclocking? Ive never actually overclocked EVER (but i do know how it works and can easily figure it out). I wanna push 4.0GHz maybe even 4.2GHz, is the cpu cooler strong enough?

Budget is $700, anything besides RAM (Obviously) can be changed. Not sure what a good, and compatible GPU would be. I am not sure if the parts are the best options for the price, i followed the buying guide for most parts on the list. I'd love help from anyone who has suggestions or changes, thanks!

A RX 570 / RX 580 will be in my opinion the best choice for a GPU since it is natively supported in High Sierra and Mojave. Apple specifically recommends the Sapphire Pulse cards so that is what I recommend also.

Thanks for the info, I am curious though if a 570/580 is really required for what im doing? I have room in the budget but if i can save money id like to. Just curious if this is really what i would need or if its redundant?

I am not sure about the graphics requirements of your work, so I can't really offer any useful insight here. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than me can chime in.

If you want to save some money, you can also consider a RX 560 (avoid XFX since it is incompatible with MacOS) which is also natively supported in High Sierra (and probably Mojave).

Thanks, ill look into any non XFX GPU's and wait till someone with more knowledge chimes in for the best GPU for what im doing for the best price!

Yes, RX 560 is a great choice, many pros use them. They will handle 4K no problem and use a lot less power. They will provide 4x the processing power of the HD 630 graphics.
Geekbench compute for HD 630 15000-18000, RX 560 75000-80000.
RX 580 125000-140000. A graphics card will give you quite the benefit and take a load off your CPU not to mention heat.

Thanks for the knowledge, ill look for one of those for the build.

bump. Thanks to anyone who can help!

I wouldn't buy H370 boards. NVRam is not native and once you use old UEFI drivers sleep doesn't work well.
I would buy Z370. They're unlocked. With unlocked boards you get fast ram and with fast ram you get speed out of Quick Synch in FCPX and Apple H264/H265 APi which Da Vinci uses too.
The fastest board I found with Quick synch are ASRock. I get with a RX580 XFX XXX 13.8Sec in the Bruce test.
With in i7 8700K. But ASRock boards are faster even on locked CPU but you need fast ram. These series of boards also have better VRM. Some low range boards get VRM overheating even with an i7-8700.
XFX XXX Rx580 is the best RX580 I tested. 150000 OCL. Sapphire Nitro SE Rx580 146000.
The most optimised drivers in MacOS are the Rx580 ones. You build a machine that is faster than an iMac Pro for a fraction.

Give back 2400 memory. If you do video you want quick synch to scream. You need 3200 CL15/CL16 ram.
Details like this one and another couple of things cost you a 30% more time to do the same task.
Then with i5-8600K it's nonsense to have an H370 board. that baby goes to 5.1 stable and you want to overclock it to 5.1 and then you want to overclock Quick Synch to 1350 too.

If you are worried about CPU temps when overclocking, consider delidding your CPU.

I run my i7-8700K at 5GHz on air cooling and have never hit 80C even on full load. I can get my CPU to 5.1GHz but it required a bit more voltage than I liked so I backed it down to 5GHz.

Here's my MSI RX 560 low profile. I've been very impressed by how well it performs especially since it's entirely PCI-e bus powered.
