Any changes anyone would suggest?

Are you just gaming? If you don't need PCIe NVMe then I'd opt for the 1TB Crucial MX500 that's sitting at $99. I'd also spend the few extra dollars and go with a Western Digital hard disk over the Seagate. Just curious, why do you want 32GB of RAM?

I'll be doing a lot of gaming and doing school work on this machine. I figured why not on the 32GB of ram.. I'm guessing that is a little overkill?? I'll look into the suggestions on the Crucial MX500

If you're just gaming, the MX500 is more than adequate; there are plenty of reviews online of the drive if you'd like to research on it. 32 gigs of RAM is definitely not necessary; could use that $90 on something else for sure.

True.. I could always add more Ram in the future if I needed it.. Maybe I can swap out the 2TB Seagate HD for that 1TB crucial SSD as a secondary HD.. I prob dont need 2TB's anyways. I rather keep the 500GB M.2 drive for my operating system and games.

Updated parts list.. I have a 2TB hard drive in my old machine which I am currently on as a secondary drive. Ill prob take that out and throw that in my new machine for extra storage just in case

Absolutely.

You do what you feel is best, but 1TB is really hardly enough anymore for game storage. You'll eat through it quite quickly.

If that's what you want, but I'm just suggesting it's not necessary and kind of a waste of money. For your usage, you'd notice no difference between the 970 Evo and the MX500; the 500GB Evo is almost as much as the 1TB MX500.
