Sounds like a fairly safe bet.

The only reservation I'd have is the nVidia graphics. You might want to 
consider the B570 (integrated graphics only) or G570 (AMD GPU) to avoid 
proprietary driver pain.  In my experience (previous generation i5) the intel 
embedded Intel graphics aren't as under-powered as they used to be, and are 
even sufficient for casual gaming.
