Just be aware that ram from different kits doesn't always play nice, but u will be ok at stock speeds.

Depends on the software. I use a variety but most let you set a working disk. Much faster when dealing with large files. People worry about constant writes to ssds but I've had 15tb on one and no issues.

It is an odd build in some ways but yes id think those games will be fine.
1 stick of slowish RAM is an odd choice. I do music stuff and often find 8gb to be right on the limit - I'd have gone 16 in your case.
Also, the 1060 would have been a better option than 970, but the 970 will do just fine in 1080p gaming :)

With music stuff, file sizes can really grow depending on your recording settings so use the 250gb SSD as a scratch drive then archive to the HDD.
