Hello,
Im going to be building my first PC this weekend, I've been scratching my head for a while about what to do with disk managment/partitions when I get to installing the OS. I know I am definetly over-thinking it but I would like things to be as neat and organised as possible. Some experienced advice would be really helpful to help me come to a conclusion.

SSD = Samsung 870 EVO 1TB
Using it for C/drive in my laptop, would ideally like to wipe it clean if/when I install it in new PC. Would anyone suggest I install my OS on the SSD, or I could leave it out of the build entirely?

NVMe = WD_BLACK SN850X 1TB and Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB
The 970 EVO has been used before while the SN850X is brand new and generally better. I wanted to use one NVMe purely for games and related files. Should I only install the two NVMe for games and OS while leaving out the SSD entirely?

Anyways I have listed some of my thoughts but would really appreciate an experienced opinion. Just to be clear this PC will 99% be used for gaming only. Thanks!
