    I feel terrible to tell you this but I own a Asrock B450M Steel Legend and this mobo is garbage...
     
    Your B450M Pro4 has a 3 phase VRM and that's quite bad...
    To put it to perspective:
    my X299 Gaming 9 board has 8 phase VRM and that thing heats up badly going 1.5v+ (also IR3556 mosfet)
    my B450M Steel Legend has 4 phase VRM and it's unstable at 1.3v.

    So with your 3 phase VRM (NIKO SEMI mosfet - known as the worst mosfet)  I doubt that board can overclock well.
     
    Again, I'm sorry to tell you but that board is really bad.
    Try to avoid Asrock Board for budget AM4.

    Intel still has the crown in *some* gaming scenarios, however 3rd gen Ryzen is right up there with it, and with price-to-performance, I would say go Ryzen hands-down.

    The Radeon RX 5700 XT seems to perform just slightly worse than the 2070 Super, while the RX 5700 non-XT variant seems to be around the RTX 2060 level of performance..
    Again, depending on the title specifically!

    The LG 32GK850G-B is the best VA monitor for gaming that has been tested and reviewed so far. It has impressive pixle response for a VA, VA usually have terrible dark transition performance resulting in ghosting/blur. The GK850 however has very respectable response time there. Its not perfect, its no TN display in regards to speed, but its the best ur going to get for a VA in that respect.
     
    The TUF VG27AQ (not BQ as u listed) is one of the best mid to high end IPS gaming display u can find for the price, especially if u covet uniformity which is usually where IPS fails. The VG27AQ does well in that respect.
     
    IMO you should be deciding between the VG27AQ (27" IPS) and the 32GB850G-B (32" VA)
     
     
    For other options consider those listed in the following rtings search&filter tool.

    Dont base decision purely on the 'score' on ritngs. The score system is weighted after all and as such can favor certain panels in certain tests. For example the overall picture quality score favors IPS due to viewing angles being worth 20% of the score.
    As such its worth actually looking at the result figures, more so the general 'score'.
