Very much so, It should go on the fastest drive which will be the SSD!
Completely new to PC building, any advice appreciated on these builds

Fully agreed. The days of an OS being on a HDD are long gone. By having it on an NVMe drive you’ll be reaping the benefit of a fantastically quick boot, you’ll be at your home screen within seconds and can get to playing Borderlands a significant amount quicker 🙂👍
Yes. You need to install onto the SSD. HDD’s are a thing of the past 😜

Only for hosting the OS, for general storage that doesn't need high speed then they are great, if anything standard SSD are a thing of the past as they have been superseded by M.2
Thank you @Martinr36! Very good point, very well made and you very much beat me to it! 🙂👍
There is still very much a place for the humble HDD and they wouldn’t still be making them if there wasn’t so please be careful with such sweeping generalisations as that, @Ash_.
The graphics card is out of stock and it is uncertain when it will come back in stock. I have been advised via live chat to amend the card if possible, the 4GB AMD RADEON™ RX 550 has been suggested.
Now, I'm in no rush to get the build and am willing to wait, but if this card will offer basically the same performance I am willing to amend the order. Should I amend the card or keep waiting?
EDIT: Ended up putting in the extra 89 quid to upgrade to the 1660 Super
