Sanity check: GA-Z370N-WIFI + Radeon 580 build

[SharpScruffHugh]

Seems like there are a few completed builds with this mobo. Use is dual boot: MacOS for software development, and Win for gaming. I want a mini-ITX format, and the Z370 appeals to me for some light overclocking. Also having 2 M.2 slots means that each OS could have its own zippy boot disk (though I'll probably use a SATA SSD for Windows for now).

Motherboard: Gigabyte - Z370N WIFI Mini ITX LGA1151 Motherboard
CPU: Intel - Core i5-8600K 3.6GHz 6-Core Processor
GPU: XFX Radeon RX 580 GTS XXX Edition 1386MHz OC+, 8gb 256bit GDDR5
Memory: *G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-2133 Memory
Storage: Samsung - 960 Evo 500GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive

I can’t help you much other than I’m about to try a similar build but with integrated graphics. I have found that the 970 evo is cheaper than the 960 and seems to be completely compatible, so perhaps you should look in to that.

In Canada the price for a 500GB 960 is like $60 cheaper than the 970, as per pee cee partpicker.
