This is what my build is currently looking like, any feedback whatsoever would be super useful and appreciated, thanks!

Looks like a well balanced parts list. I can tell you right now that Seagate Barracuda is a pretty great bulk storage drive. I have that exact one and it works really nicely without being too loud.

For a little bit more, you could get a really good nvme drive with dram. Here are some options:

 

ADATA XPG GAMMIX S7

Silicon Power A80

What's the difference between the drives you listed and the one I currently have in my list?

Overall faster, snappier pc experience. No effect in games right now though. This might change when direct storage comes out in Windows.

Ok thanks a a lot! I'm going to go with the silicon power drive and besides that I think I'm ready to order the parts, I might buy a cpu cooler later on if I don't like the stock one. Thanks for the help!
