reading up some more about these NVMe drives. Would it be beneficial to have say 2 NVMe drives on the board instead of a separate sata SSD drive and HDD? or maybe a 500gb NVME drive and keep the 1tbb HDD for mass storage of files i don't use often?

the blurb for the Aorus B450 says...

An M.2 slot with PCIe connectivity is provided thanks to this board being AM4-based. M.2 SSDs that use the advanced NVM-Express protocol (NVMe) and that are connected via PCI-Express 3.0 lanes are up to eight times as fast as SATA 6G hard drives and support data transfer rates of up to 32 Gbit/s. The slot has an integrated heatspreader and accepts M.2 drives up to 110 mm (22110).

Chipset:
- 1 x M.2 connector (Socket 3, M key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 SATA and PCIe 3.0 x4/x2 SSD support)
- 1 x M.2 connector (Socket 3, M key, type 2242/2260/2280 PCIe 3.0 x2 SSD support)
- 6 x SATA 6Gb/s connectors-Support for RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10
- Support for RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 10

I'd just get the largest SSD you can afford @Marc2180
Personally , can pick up 1TB drive for price of 500gb nvme or nvme plus HDD
