Would a 2TB storage device be better than what I have planed?  I plan to build a NAS storage device.

 

Budget (including currency): 

$1800.00

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Video editing, coding,Cities Skylines2 and Titanic: Honor and Glory

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):

You can't use DDR4 with AM5. You want DDR5-6000 CL30 for these AM5 builds.

Is this your current build or planned build? If it's your planned build please consider getting a cpu that isn't 7 generations old

If you're building a Nas then a single 2tb drive should be enough

Afaik city skylines is mainly cpu based so a 7900x would be great here

(This is overkill so you can change to your discretion to something like a 7800 or 7700 if desired)

Consider something like this.

200 dollars cheaper for a significant boost is performance.

I would definitely take a closer look at some of the builds above. The GPU you've chosen isn't particularly a good buy. Something like a 6700XT would be better in that price range. 

 

I would personally switch to an AM5 CPU/Mobo combo (Microcenter has deals if you're close), something like a R7 7700/B650 combo. That would allow you to get a better GPU.
