Product: Omen 25L
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Alright so I'm definitely a noob when it comes this so bare with me. I was looking to get the Omen 25L, I am a beginner PC player so I will not being doing any hardcore gaming on this computer. Mainly WoW and Sims. I am going to upgrade the SSD to 516gb but wasn't sure which was better if at all between the WD or Intel? I tried doing some research and couldn't find a distinct difference between the two and they are the same price. So WD Black 512 GB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSD -OR- 512 GB Intel® SSD + 32 GB Intel® Optane™ memory? I also planned on adding a secondary storage to 1TB. Any other recommendations?

@tiredtigger 

I would suggest the WD 512GB NVMe.   Optane can be problematic if you ever want to increase the boot NVMe. AS far as processor, although I prefer Intel, here is an excellent read.
