So like thousands of other posts out there, i also need help with my first build ever.Currently i have my eyes on these:

CPU - Ryzen 2700x
GPU - Galax 1070 ti EXOC Sniper White
Mobo - GA-AB350-GAMING 3
HDD - WD BLACK 2TB
M.2. - Samsung 960 EVO 250GB

I dont have a lot of need for storage but should i get a sata ssd? that'd mean I'll have 3 drives to store my stuff in right?
Also I'm still having trouble deciding on a casing and psu so I'd be grateful for any recommendations

No need for SATA SSD if you have an M.2 SSD for your main drive. HDD will easily store pictures/movies/documents/installers/everything not related to your main OS. That being said, 512GB would be preferred for your SSD, if possible. More storage for games is always a good thing, and you really do want to put them on SSD.

I'd also pick a better motherboard for that nice 2700x, like this one:

For PSU, this one would be among the best picks:

As for the case, go with anything you like, just make sure it is mid tower and from a reputable manufacturer like...
