So I'm trying to get macOS 10.12 on my gaming rig. I think all my hardware is compatible but I'm not entirely sure so if someone could reassure me of that that would be nice: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

My main question is is it possible for me to install macOS on the second ssd and still use approximately half the ssd for game storage in the windows installation? I also really don't want to reinstall windows or have to wipe any drives except the ssd that I will be installing macOS to. My plan was to make a partition on the ssd in windows disk management, unplug all drives except the ssd ,install macOS, set up the dual boot thingy, then reconnect the windows ssd, test it, then reconnect all drives. Would this work? Also what should I format the partition as in windows disk management?
