If it's purely for gaming could you wait for Zen 3 release in coming weeks? - rumoured ~15 IPC increase.

And would defiantly go WD for the M.2. as no discernible speed difference and significantly cheaper.

And would recommend Crucial Ballistix 3600MHz - tighter timing similar price.

Usual size slim radiators don't beat best heatpipe coolers in continuous cooling per noise.
Their surface area simply isn't anything special.
In Tweaktown's testing (one of the rare sites with noise for certain cooling result comparison) NZXT's 3-serie even performance very medioce like being some old reputation riding products after 2-serie.
Anyway Arctic is really only one not peeing down throat of buyers with brand and fashion hype by offering actually beefy thicker radiators at reasonable prices in Freezer II serie.


Overall best description for Samsung drives is three words: Brand scam overpricing.
Basically all are more or less horribly overpriced for tech and type of product.
Even if you want the best performance they're nothing to write about with Samsung's performance lead times being like half dozen years behind.

For SATA drive WD Blue 3D is good choise.
For NVMe WD Blue SN550 is bang per buck choise.
Anyway there's no sense to fill limited slots with 1TB drives.
2TB Adata SX8200 Pro can be found for very good price and that's pretty much top performer for typical home use workloads.
(fuller drive writes and high queue depth/thread count loads are where it's won by Phison E12 based drives)
