Ditch that GTX 1060 and get something like a Vega 20 or RX 5700XT from AMD

Get a compatible wifi card

Get another 8GB ram stick

Check tonymacx86 for compatible part

Dude, don't worry, you can use the integrated gpu from the 9600K, to put things in perspective the latest Mac mini's from 2018 only have igpus :)

 

I would suggest you start here:

in case you are curious about the current state of gpus compatibility:

Have Fun!

You can either use your iGPU and install Catalina or Mojave or whatever you want, but if you want to use the gpu you will be limited to High Sierra
