Please evaluate parts for Catalina / Professional Use

Current machine is an iMac 27" Late 2009. He's a graphic designer and Mac user since 1990. The objective is simple: 1) Native support OOB 2) Stability over performance 3) SFF

All prices are in CAD:

  • ASUS Prime H310I-PLUS $130
  • Intel i5 9400F $210
  • Noctua L9i $60
  • MSI Radeon RX 560 2G ITX $147 or Sapphire RX 570 4G (used) $120 **
  • Kingston A2000 250G $60
  • Fractal Design Node 202 $110
  • Corsair SFX Modular $450 $120
  • Kingston HyperX Red 2x16GB or Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x16GB $170

** Suggestions welcome. Adobe PS, Illustrator and iMovie don't need this kind of GPU prowess but I cannot find a cheaper alternative with DisplayPort...which I would need to pair with Benq PD2700U vs Dell U2719D.

I will add 2 x 1TB SATA SSD later (Kingston or WD) in RAID0.

ETA: Want to start building next weekend. Thank you for your time!
