looks like a solid build to me, only suggestion is get one 8GB stick of RAM to make memory upgrades easier in the future and maybe a slightly more powerful PSU in case you ever decide to upgrade your CPU/GPU as well. This build is great though for the price and for long term upgrades if that's what you were going for.

Gaming Desktop - AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus, 32GB Cosair Vengenace LP 3600mhz, EVGA RTX 3070 XC3 Ultra,  Sabrent Rocket 4 1TB NVME SSD, Crucial P3 4TB NVME SSD, 4TB Mass storage, EVGA 750W G2, NZXT H9 Flow

I WOULD get an SSD over a 1TB you'd definitely see an improvement in speeds, also a 1x8GB stick of memory (leaves room for future upgrades)

Everything else checks out in my books.

And reduced storage for just a significant load in games that won't affect FPS? Are there no Fast HDD?

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

My head on 2019 :

Note 10, S10, Samsung becomes Apple, Zen 2, 3700X, Renegade X lol

There are "fast" HDD's but none match the speeds of ssd's

We're talking 10x faster read/write here.. that's why boot and load times are a lot better on an SSD

For long term storage I'd say use a HDD

So for starter 250GB SSD should be fine?
