Changed my mind on the motherboard, gonna go for the Gigabyte X570 AORUS ELITE ATX AM4 Motherboard instead because of the intel Lan and apparent better VRAM.

Nice if you can afford it tho I'd honestly get a bigger HDD and SSD as games are starting to take 100+ GB slowly.

Do you download a lot of new games or just games in general? if so then a little more would be nice like 2-3 TB of HDD and 1 TB SSD.

I usually don't have many games installed at once.

I see then you should be fine but I would get bigger storage either way in the next few years because of file sizes getting bigger.
