Other than ram and PSU, other components are suggested in buyer's guide. But not sure if they will work or not.
 
PSU is fine. We cannot list every model and the guide gives different options at different price points for PSU models. WIFI and Bluetooth are about all that is known to work for your reference though.

Try the crucial website for the RAM. it might work, but a 2x8GB kit would be better and as your board has 4 RAM slots, it would be easy to add another matching 16GB kit later if you want to upgrade.

HI Adrian,

Thank you for the reply. How do I tell if the crucial RAM is compatible with Apple system from the crucial website? Could you elaborate?
 
If you mainboard is compatible.
Then you only need to check if your ram is compatible with your mainboard.
 
Nvidia has not yet released Mojave drivers for 8,9 & 10 Series GPU cards.
Mojave uses Apple's new Metal 2 Graphics API for rendering the MacOS UI
Unfortunately Nvidia Web Drivers have no support for Metal 2 API

Nvidia will need to write and release all new GPU Drivers ..... and that may take some time.
We might not see them (if ever) till next year.

Best advice right now would be to stick with High Sierra which uses OpenGL for rendering the MacOS UI and use the current Nvidia Web Drivers which fully support HS. If you want to run Mojave you will need to use the Intel IGPU until Nvidia comes up with the goods.

Cheers
Jay
