1TB SSD is probably overkill, better off spending the same money on a bigger HQ HDD and a smaller SSD as the system drive. I have a half empty 256GB SSD for installed software, users, appdata etc, and I download to it, but all my data is either on a 500GB WD-VR or a 3TB WD-Black.
I replaced the WD-VR HDD as my system drive with the SSD to reduce noise, performance-wise they're much of a muchness. But access to the data I have on the WD-VR is lightning fast

Assuming size and weight aren't an issue.

I would also recommend you get Windows 10
Pro, it gives better control over updates and upgrades and it has some useful utilities - such as the group policy editor. IMO MS should have rebadged Pro as Consumer and Small Business and scrapped Home.
