If you go for a gaming system and a 3700X and a B450 Tomahawk MAX then go for some good RAM. You don't need RGB RAM so here is what I recommend.

Mx500 1tb Sata interface is $114 on both Amazona and Neweg currently if you didn't want to go the NVME route.

The P1 is a QLC drive and will be slower then an HDD if you overflow/exceed the drives SLC cache buffer. This isn't easy to do until the drive get more full and there is less space for it to use as the buffer.
