That was basically my whole setup and I have a lot of stuff so far so if it says purchased then I already own it and I'm just looking to buy the other stuff if it is worth it.

List looks very good.

Only one thing you should change is drives. 970 Evo Plus is too expensive for what it is. Especially after Samsung changed components in it... It's not worth paying this much at all, You can get great Gen 4 drive for this money 😄

Here is some Gen 4 SSD U can buy:

 

I would get Team SSD, Because it's on good sale right now, You'll end up with much better SSD for lower price... 😄

And for storage, Why bother with SATA SSD, While U can get NVMe for same price?

Or even better, Drives with cache for little more... 😄

My advice will be get Team Gen 4 SSD and Crucial P5, You'll end up with much better and faster storage configuration for around same price.

 

P.S. if u don't want Gen 4, Just get only Crucial P5, it's much cheaper than 970 Evo plus and pretty much same quality and speed.
