Mostly SSD question?

[Mateimm]

Budget (including currency): All parts similar price to what they are right now. (I already have the gpu and cpu)

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming

Other details Have one question, thoughts on this ssd(the sabrent) would it be worth it to spend an extra twenty bucks on a samsung 980 or a wd sn750 or even the non q sabrent. It will be used as a boot drive. 

Is there an ssd tier list somewhere?

Yes, there is a tier list. It's in the dedicated Storage Devices subforum:

For which Sabrent?  If all you're doing is gaming, you don't really need anything higher than like an SN550 1TB, which is why I'd take the SSD Tier List with a grain of salt (the fact that it's nand-less seems to cause it to be a tier lower than it performs, at least from the reviews I saw).

The PC Parts Picker link is private btw.  Does the motherboard you're using have multiple nvme slots?  When you say games are you main application, are you planning on future proofing for potential resizable bar support in future and updated titles?  Are you building a high spec build?

Sabrent Rocket Q is QLC, so it will have shorter lifespan than TLC ones - so at this price point I'd aim for TLC one, like Crucial P5.
