I'm planning to spend around €2,000 on a gaming PC in Germany. The most demanding games I expect to play are Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 and Helldivers. The current list includes 3 TB of NVMe storage, although I may replace one of the drives with a 500 GB model for the operating system. Do you see any compatibility or value issues with these parts, and are there better alternatives I should consider? I'm also wondering whether it would be worth waiting for Black Friday in hopes of finding worthwhile discounts.

You don’t really need separate SSDs for the operating system and games. A single good NVMe drive is perfectly capable of handling both. The bigger concern is the Kingston NV3: it uses QLC flash, so it has lower endurance and can slow down more noticeably as it fills or ages. I’d use a TLC-based drive instead, such as the Kioxia Exceria Plus G3 2 TB or another similarly priced TLC NVMe SSD. Aside from that, nothing immediately stands out as incompatible in the build.
