Hello guys, please help me pick the right parts. The PC is for games, media and internet. I would like to switch to 1440p for gaming and get 32" 16:9 monitor.

GPU - budget is around 400-500euro, I got my sights on 6750 xt. Currently I can get ASRock(399e), Gigabyte(399e), Asus(409e). The others are around 450 euro link. Which is best to get?
Is it worth jumping to 6800 or 6800 xt? Atm these are priced nearly the same. powercolor or xfx 6800 xt 16gb go for 540 euro link.
There is also 6700 xt, atm powercolor is 339e and saphire is 369e link. Extra 50 euro to get 6750 xt is worth it?

SSD - I need 2tb ssd to use for games and storage. I have never used these new m2 slots and wasnt sure if my motherboard supported them but it seems it does.
Which one fits best for my motherboard? link. Would WD Black SN770 2TB work well? link
Should I install windows on new 2tb or older samsung sata 250gb ssd?

Monitor - budget is around 400-500 euro. Image quality is priority so I want an IPS panel. I prefer 32" 16:9 size and ratio, 144hz+, 1ms.
Is LG UltraGear 32GP850-B a good pick? does it fit well with 6750 xt?
Here are 20 monitors after filters link that I can buy locally.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

MB: Z390-A PRO link
CPU: I5-8400 link
GPU: RX 480 8GB
PSU: Seasonic Focus Plus 850 Gold link
RAM: 4x Flare X DDR4-3200 CL14-14-14-34 1.35V 8GB link
Storage: samsung SSD 250GB, WD 640GB

Thank you all for help, great advice. I decided to go with PowerColor RX 6800 XT Red Dragon, it's 540 euro. The cheapest 6700 xt with 3 fans goes for 399euro. I would like to use the card for at least 3-5 years so I'll overpay a bit to postpone next upgrade.
It's great that WD Black SN770 2TB will work on my MB. The SN850X is considerably more expansive here 144e vs 107e for SN770, so I'll buy SN770.

Right now I can buy Dell G Series G3223D 32" for same price as LG UltraGear 32GP850-B 440euro. I'm probably gonna pick Dell over LG. Is this a smart choice?
