Do you game or render media?
If you do not why do you need a dedicated card?

Reasoning for SSD over Sata
Firstly cost 1TB 3.5 Mechanical is not the sweet spot value wise. It will cost you £40 for a shingled drive SMR it could cost you £60 for a CMR drive. SMR you lose a lot of performance. You can buy the Crucial BX500 SSD for £66 for 1TB so the cost is not a massive difference
Secondly Mechanical drives noise whereas SSDs do not they also create more heat than an SSD
