Hello, need to advice on the build, its high end/heavy gaming related setup.

Will be purchasing a 4k Monitor within the year.
Wanted to know if the motherboard was good enough as well as the SSD, is it overkill?

If there are any bits and bobs you would change, please let me know, any help greatly appreciated.

I will also be adding some RGB fans, alongside the HUE+ to sync the x62.
