After looking at some other posts i see a lot of recommendations for 2nd drive as 2tb solidgm p41 where as i went for the 2tb solidgm p44,is there a big difference?
 
The obvious difference is read/write speed, with the P44 being faster than the P41+. Whether you'll notice that difference will depend on what the second SSD is used for. If it's just for storing data for occasional access, you probably wouldn't notice the difference. If it's being used for scratch space for whatever apps you're running, or the OS, you might be able to tell the difference. The P44 is about £66 more expensive.

There might be other less obvious differences between the two, but that's beyond my knowledge, so you'll need to wait and see if one of the more experienced people here has something to say. They also might be able to suggest a change to your spec that would produce more impact from that £66. A lot depends on how tight your budget is.

You can happily drop down to the H100i, the 7800X3D is insanely efficient.

Other than that, the system looks spot on (y)
