Good system besides the storage set up. Would have wanted NVME SSD in your storage 1. Much faster than traditional SSD. You're going to likely wanted more space overall but perhaps you have a card you'll add in down the line - otherwise looks good!

The Intel platform is PCIe Generation 3 until at least March. AMD has been all PCIe Gen 4 for a year. It might not matter a whole lot that you would notice, but every part you install from here on will be slightly gimped on the older tech platform.
Get an NVMe SSd for your primary drive. Everything the OS is involved in runs a lot faster (up to 5x).
