Please go a little more on 'moderate gaming'.

What type of games you go for? If games like DotA 2 then 1050 is sufficient, if PUBG then afraid 1050 is insufficient. As you getting ITX Board, so I suggest you go for a higher GPU, although it's more expensive but compared to purchasing another GPU when there's a need.

If you plan to overclock then I think it's better to get a better CPU Cooler, not sure if the SPIRE is sufficient.

Also, if you want to cut down a little on cost, you might reconsider about the RGB ram because the price different is really visible. It aren't that small amount to be neglect.

CPU and MB, have you checked if SLS bundle will cost lesser? Or perhaps other shopping site that may be slightly cheaper?

HDD, forgot where I seen in the forum but SEAGATE was mentioned not that good?

P/S Apart from just Amazon, you might consider to visit Shopee, Lazada & EZBuy for your components as there are a wide variety of it.

Side note: Using Gigabyte mobo myself but I find the RGB Fusion a little buggy so yea, otherwise it seems fine to me so far.
