Also I am thinking of changing the graphics card to a RTX 3070 if I can snag one.

It's a very decent system. Nice!

 

If you can, I recommend looking at the Patriot VPN100. There's a sale going on right now (ends in about three hours?) where it's $132, or about $2 cheaper than both SSDs combined (if purchased from Newegg), and its speeds are fairly comparable to the Samsung 970 Evo: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/NWNv6h/patriot-vpn100-1-tb-m2-2280-solid-state-drive-vpn100-1tbm28h

 

If you get that, then your entire 1 TB of SSD storage will be fast rather than only half of it. If you still require two logical 500 GB units, you can use partitions which are quite easy to set up.

Hey, I actually didn't notice I had two SSDs in. Thank you for the idea though if I am unable to get the graphics card I might decide to go for the bigger size SSD, also I fixed the initial post
