I have no idea what M2 drive to pick and I feel like I'm going to fall down a rabbit hole

I am looking to for a 1TB between £100-£130 or so. That puts quite a lot of options in front of me and I don't know where to begin.

This will be replacing my nearly 6 year old Crucial MX500 as a OS/common game drive. I have a Strix B350-F which puts me firmly in Gen3 territory, although I guess it doesn't matter if I put a Gen4 drive in there?

Any recommendations are appreciated, I just want to buy something and not spend hours researching the nuance differences between all the drives at that price point.

The Crucial works fine but I play 2-3 games on rotation and that takes 3/4 of my drive up and trying to run software like Unreal or Blender off a HDD is painful.
 
What's your motherboard? Have you actually looked at the recommended tested compatible brands from the manual?

There's literally a tone of options available now.

I have an Asus Strix B350-F. Manual only lists the slot specifications, not any recommended/test compatible brands:

Can't copy and paste from the damn PDF: Page 7
