It has some pretty solid reviews so I'd go for it. 
 
Only other thing is if you wanted to stretch your budget a bit (and are also a student) you can get a mad deal on the Dell S2721DGF at the moment, I have heard some great things about that. 

Somebody is grumpy today.
 
I do Raid0 in all my PCs staring back from the Pentium4 era even laptops and even Raid0 with SSDs and never had issues unless its like a 10 year old machine.
 
I want top speed for my PCs and nothing better to have than a fast ssd or hdd,and whats even better than one ssd/hdd ? 2 in Raid0.
 
Also you should backup your important data regardless if its stored in a Raid0 array no excuse for being lazy.
 
No point in trying to "bury" a techonogy that works for decades if you can't be bothered to backup your stuff.
 
Forums are not IT classes its for helping out and making suggestions. If one doesn't know what Raid is google is there to do research and learn.

idk, i never measured in decibels
imo quickest way is to test it out

Wouldn't advise that. Either get a new tray, or if you can, screw it in with all 4 screws. For HDDs, mounting them securely really matters as even little movements and vibrations can shorten the life of the drive. 

Order a new tray. They're like 2-3$

it's best to mount your HDD securely, as it's sensitive to vibrations and shock while operating

Yes, it's a TLc drive with a good controller and proper DRAM cache. It's going to be world's better than cheap QLC crap or DRAMless abominations.

Not really true now that basically everything's using QLC. DRAM/SLC-less cheap QLC SSDs can be slower, even half the speed on an HDD, at least for sequential and don't fare a whole lot better in random.
 
What a baseless recommendation of RAID 0 without explaining the drawbacks.
 
@NewbieGamer69, if you put drives in RAID0, if any of the drives in the array fail or get corrupt, data on ALL of the drives in the array is gone. Yes, you get some benefits for increased sequential read/write performance, and some benefit to random read/writes in certain situations with RAID 0, but generally, I would not recommend it unless you really don't care about the data on it, or you don't mind restoring from a backup, if you have one. 
 
 
As for drive recommendations, a combination of SSD for fast storage and HDD for capacity is generally the best solution. Of the ones you listed, the 860EVO is the best. The QVO is decent, but the Crucial MX500 should be in the same price range, so I'd suggest that instead. If you need more storage for media down the road, go for a 2TB HDD or similar.

Whichever one I google and find out that one PARKS its heads less than the other one...
 
 
Then that one.

WB blue. I have a 1tb and it's great.

Ironically, 32 GBs of 3200 mhz is cheaper than 32 GBs of 2933 mhz right now. Thanks for the help!

Thank you, thats a relief to hear.

A 120 mm liquid cooler will not perform significantly better (or at all) compared to a mid-tier air cooler like the 212. It will be louder due to having a pump, and has more parts (a pump) that can fail when compared to an air cooler. In your case, do not go for the liquid cooler.
 
As for which air cooler, I don't have a strong opinion, but think the CM H212 would be better just due to it's reputation in my head.

About cooling it all depends where you live.
Arctic Freezer 34 Esports Duo Cooler wolud be a good buy almost anywhere...
 
is good also though.

the hyper212 cpu cooler has been around for an extremely long time, it is a tried and true legend in cpu cooling.  It will be money well spent. It is beyond capable. But firstly, your temps as fine as they are, 80c will not harm or lower the life of your cpu at every day usage. However if you want peace of mind and can easily afford to purchase this my vote would be for the hyper 212 as I have used this in the past with great success. 

If you're picky about audio you should definitely get a dac

Understood. So 5,999 vs. 3,999? That's a pretty steep price difference if so. The A1000 is probably the better deal in that case.

A1000 is enough, it has DRAM and R/W is already higher than the best of SATA SSDs. KC2000 has double the speed and has DRAM, but that's not very useful for gaming. A400 has no DRAM and read writes are kinda bad even among SSDs, though it has double the capacity which is useful for fast mass storage, but not as the main drive.

If you wanna go cheap get a Kingston or Sandisk.

Yes, usually i would go to one of the top tiers like samsung, crucial, intel, kingston, sandisk, WD etc.
Things to consider is the warranty, get at least 3 years.
Samsung is expensive because they offer 5+ years of warranty.
And their product is very popular and proven to have low problems.
Cheap brand usually don't have a proper after sales service.

For gaming get the biggest regular HDD you can afford.
For ssd a 256gb is enough for windows and non gaming stuff.
Install your game in HDD, games don't need SSD speed.
Loading might be a bit faster, but ingame wont matter.
m.2 is great for space saving, but for gaming not that big of a difference.
If i were you i'll get a 256ssd + 3TB hdd.
