A couple of things...

-I'd spring for a higher-capacity hard drive. 1TB will go fast.

-Faster RAM will give a noticeable increase in performance. 

-Your motherboard supports M.2 NVMe SSDs. I would go with one of those if you can.

 

Other than that, looks allright.

I’d say 1.5TB is plenty for the average user.. I have 1TB (2*500) and neither is anywhere close to full lol

Just speaking from my experience...

 

Larger-capacity drives are also a better value.
