It'll operate but you'll be cutting bandwidth. 

 

I can see you went with the most expensive specs you could find, but is there actually a reason you need NVMe drives, and 3 of them?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I needATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explainedgroup reg is bad

Fast storage and no worry for money ? i wanted 2 1tb 970 pro but that time it was not available in my country.

The storage isn't so fast when you have no bandwidth so I think one 1TB 970 and the biggest SATA SSD you can get is a better idea

I'd probably go with a SATA drive then, you won't really notice the difference unless you actually NEED the speed
