I wanted to upgrade my current 120 GB SATA SSD to NVME 500 Gb but I am really not sure which nvme's are best and whats right for the price.

My Setup:

CPU : Ryzen 3 2200G
GPU : GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER
Motherboard : A320 S2H Gigabyte
RAM : 16 GB RAM (8x2)
HDD : 1 TB & 320 GB 
SSD : 120 GB
Cabinet : Antec DF500 RGB Mid Tower 
SMPS : CoolerMaster 450W 80+ 
Monitor : LG UltraGear (144hz , 1ms RT , 1080p)

 

 I checked in my country(india) on Amazon for nvme ssd's and i found these :

These are the 3 options i believe i have on amazon, i check offline shops but they are selling ssd's for way more than amazon.
I dont know if the samsung 970 evo plus is really worth the price , i can see that the read and write speed have a major difference , but i dont know if my needs are that high for a ssd. 
Let me know what is the best option!

a sata SSD is fine too.

 but if the same price per GB, don't know the lifetime of them but samsung I just trust more in some of their ratings.

in lower quality nvme's you might not get the speed you might want.

If you're not putting any vital/necessary data that you don't want to lose, I'd simply just go for the WD drive.

 

I personally trust Samsung more with quality but I have yet to try out one of those WD SSDs. Between those drives, the warranty length are the same. They are both reputable companies so just go with the WD to save money.
