Hi I'm building new a PC for this year and I wanted to see if all the compotants I have listed will work togater in my new RIG, This build is going to be mainly for gaming and slight video editing

What I have currently is a Pre-Built HP from a Walmart Black Friday sell the HP 580-023W
Specs Link

I'm going to remove the Nvida 1060 from the HP and put it into my new build, The HP will become my streaming computer for Twitch

Here is my WL from Newegg Link

My current budget is under $850

CASE: Cooler Master MasterBox 5 (Already Have)
CPU: Intel i5 8600K
GPU: Nvida 1060 3GB (Already Have)
Mobo: ASUS Prime Z370-A LGA 1151 (300 Series)
PSU: CORSAIR RMx Series RM750X
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 8GB
MEM: WD Blue 3D NAND 500GB PC SSD - WDS500G2B0A

The only concern that I have is the RAM, It says it is only good for intel Z170/X99 chipsets but the specs say its compatible with ASUS Prime Z370-A LGA 1151 (300 Series) Mb.

Any advice or thoughts will be greatly appreaticated.

PSU is overkill, 450+ good quality will do
ram is fine, those are old ad description, 8 gb is kind of small for new builds
