RAM always bought by 2 : in your case, twice 8GB, with this you gain speed using double channel
SSD: a SAMSUNG EVO PLUS 1TB is the choice to buy.

Hi

Getting a Samsung EVO Plus 1tb is apparently cheaper than my current set-up

Is this correct?

Very likely, those optane drives are not really intended as OS drives and aren't terribly good for that purpose. They're more intended for high speed data storage drives. They're extremely expensive.

The Samsung would be a much better choice.
