What version of MacOS do you plan to run? High Sierra? Mojave? Or others?

High Sierra 10.13.6 and Mojave should work with your new hardware and the RX 570.

I’m currently running Mojave 10.14.3 and will continue running Mojave.
I was more looking for comments/advice regarding there being any potential problems with my old hardware and it playing nice with the new hardware, and issues with that combination of new hardware which could be minimized with a ‘better’ combination.
