I find that machines with both SSD (or equivalent) and HDD still suffer a bit of lag (even booting windows it checks all the connected drives)
- also swapping, (run-time temp space etc) some programs look for drive withe the most space

consider SSD drive (512-1TB) as the second internal drive(s) - games, dev, vid edit etc will run better
... and move the large HDD(s) to NAS.

as to intel vs amd: - linux + amd + GPU still somewhat troublesome,
-> so if even small chance linux is on your horizon intel is definitely the better investment

yes intel pricier; performance 9th/10th gen intel easily fast enough - not an issue,
- yes amd is faster 'on paper' - not humanly possible to notice even on hardest core gaming
-- plus if you're on a gpu intel vs amd performance becomes all but moot even on paper.

on board (non gpu graphics) for mine intel has the edge (in case considering buy gpu later)

anyway just my observations/findings
