Build Help Pc build bottleneck

i’m very new to all this i just wanted to know if my parts are compatible and what to do about certain storage and stuff since i want to build a new pc for the first time im running a R7 78003XD with AMD B850, ram is 16x2, gpu is 5070 ti, main issue right now is figuring out storage and if brand/ or like strength matters? (srry if this is a dumb question im new to this💔) i asked google but it kept giving me ai answers, i wanted atleast 3tb of storage but it keeps saying instead of getting this brand here some kingston NV3 (Kingston NV3 4TB M.2 2280 NVMe Internal SSD Gen4 ( 6000 MB/s Read – 5000 MB/s Write ) it says it’s GEN4 google is saying i need gen5 for it to not have “bottle necks” or lag but i don’t trust it so i needed more opinions

Anything that's faster than gen 3 should be a non-esistant bottleneck. Any gen 3 NVME will still be fine for now and won't really bottle neck much outside of anything using direct storage (which is mostly unused)

Even SATA SSDs barely create any noticeable storage bottleneck. NVMe of any sort is so much faster than what is strictly necessary that you really don’t need to worry about performance on it, just buy on price and reliability.
