Finalizing my part list to buy during black Friday (Already have a few of the parts I found on sale, but should be within return window). Would love some feedback/advice on this. Anything worth upgrading? Mostly work on this PC (3 monitors, multiple browser windows/tabs always open, photo processing). Want the option to play some games if I choose down the line.

I'd rather repurpose that Samsung drive as an OS drive, alongside the app's/launchers. Use the SK Hynix drive as your game drive. Parts that will be carried over or are previously purchased, need to stipulated, mind you.
You don't think the faster speeds of the SK Hynix will make a difference w/ the OS/apps launching? Really mostly thinking about photo processing apps? Otherwise that's a great idea!
