I would change the SSD drive to a samsung 960 pro m.2 drive as much faster that standard ssd.

I would add another of your 2TB Seagates and put them in Raid 1 if you are not keeping file backups elsewhere. It is nice to have redundancy in case a drive fails, especially for work files. Also, the case comes with one fan? I would probably add a second.

It's $228 at my supplier, which I am happy with if it means better performance. Being an M.2, does this mean it has a different connection type? Are all motherboards compatible with this?

SSD 970 EVO NVMe M.2 500GB
I have tried it all, HDD, SSD, SSD RAID, and PCIe M.2 AHCI allready. NVMe should be even faster. It's not all about continuous transfer rates, it's about fast access times and low latencies too.
Fast program starts, fast system startups, fast file opens, fast file saves. Fast everything.
I believe SATA SSD is sufficient, but M.2 SSD would be great.
