Feedback on my budget PC build + future GPU upgrade path (₹50k budget) or (500$)

Hey everyone,

I recently put together a budget PC build and wanted to get some feedback on how the parts stack up, if my monitor is a good fit, and what my best options are for future upgrades.

Here is my current setup:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G (using integrated graphics for now)

Motherboard: Gigabyte B450M K

RAM: 16GB DDR4 3200MHz (2 x 8GB OTEK Xcore)

Storage: 512GB M.2 NVMe SSD

Case: Zebronics Cube

Power Supply: Cooler Master MWE 550 V3 Bronze (550W)

Monitor: Acer 100Hz IPS

A few specific questions for the community:

Future GPU Upgrade: I'm saving up for a dedicated graphics card. My budget for the GPU upgrade is around ₹50,000. Given my 550W power supply and the 5600G, what's the absolute best card I can drop in here later without needing to swap out the PSU or severely bottlenecking the system?

The Monitor: Is an Acer 100Hz IPS monitor a good match for this kind of setup, or should I look into upgrading to a 144Hz/180Hz panel once I actually get a dedicated GPU?

Buying from Amazon: I'm planning to order all of these components directly from Amazon. How safe/trustworthy is Amazon for PC parts right now? Are there specific things I should check (like seller ratings or "Open Box Delivery") to avoid getting scammed or receiving a fake/damaged product?

I WOULD REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE A RESPONSE, AS IM A FIRST TIME PC BUILDER

(After post- ANY THINGS I SHOULD KEEP IN MIND WHILE BUILDING THE PC??? The motherboard listing on Amazon says it's bios updated for the Ryzen 5000 series and below so yeah)
