Hello everyone!
I have build my PC one and a half year ago, watched a lot of yt videos, read a lot of stuff here and on other web sites. Build up my confidence and went on an adventure.
Most of the time I use it only for video games, but I used to do architecture and I want to learn more about computer science in the future so that was foundation of my thinking. Also, I didn't want to invest a lot, but just enough so that it would be eligible for future upgrades.
So here is my current build:

MB: MSI z690A Pro DDR4 WiFi;
CPU: Intel Core i5-13600K;
Cooler: DeepCool AG620 BK ARGB;
RAM: GSKILL DDR4 3200 32GB;
ROM: Crucial P5 Plus SSD 2TB, M.2 2280 / M- Key / PCIle 4.0 x4 + Kingston NV2 NVMe SSD, 1 TB, M.2 PCle;
PSU: Thermaltake GF1 850W;
Case: Phanteks G360A

Now, I want new monitor, so I was thinking
LG UltraGear 32GR93U-B,
Samsung Odyssey Neo G7G 75NB
Samsung Odyssey Neo G8G 85NB.
I play all kinds of games and I am aware that price difference is mainly about Hz but is that all to it is my question. Also I like to have stuff that have good price/quality ratio. Image quality and monitors are whole science especially when it comes to colours, so I need your help guys, also if you have any other suggestions other than this 3 please be free to share.
Now, my main concern, for now I want 4k monitor 32", but in the hopefully near future, I want to get my hands on 4090, and my real question is can my system handle it? My biggest worry is abou PSU and MB. When I was building my PC I was sure that it can handle it, but now when purchase is close, I am getting worried.. Also, if I have to undervolt it, or to do some other gymnastics will it still be able to get that 4k?

850w is very much on the low end of a 4090 build. You are also going to need a lot of cooling.
At 4K your processor will be fine as should mobo VRM.
