I should point out that I have hibernation turned off on my system, that saves the need for a 16GB hiperfil.sys file, but the paging file (pagefile.sys) is on my SSD.
I'd avoid all but the K500. If you look at the Corsair's front you'll see it has 3 fans... and how sealed up the front is by solid plastic such that only 1 of them gets any real access to air. V200 also looks like its vents are pretty small.
Hiberfil.sys is the hibernation file, that where the contents of RAM are saved/resumed when you hibernate, it's at least the same size as your installed RAM. If you turn hibernation off that file doesn't exist and you save that much storage space.

For the usage you specified a 1TB SSD would be a waste of money in terms of the benefit you'll get. Windows and a huge bunch of third party software will use only a fraction of it, and that's not going to change much over the next few years of software and OS development, which means the overwhelming majority of it will only be useful for storing user data, and (as I have mentioned) most user data doesn't benefit all that much from being on an SSD (high res images DO benefit from being on an SSD however).
It's all about the budget. If you can afford a 1TB SSD without sacrificing performance elsewhere to afford it, then get one. But if you're downgrading the RAM, the CPU or the graphics card to be able to afford a 1TB SSD that's not sensible. In addition a SATA NAND 1TB SSD doesn't make sense from a cost/performance point of view if you can afford a 256GB or even a 512GB M.2 NVMe for a similar price. You want your OS and applications on the fastest SSD you can afford, and unless there is something you've not told us about, you'll be fine with a 256GB M.2 NVMe SSD, a 512GB M.2 NVME SSD will be ample for your uses for ever. IMO of course.
Yes, I think it's a very good case with decent airflow and plenty of features.
I didn't say to buy through Dell..?
1) The monitor listed on Amazon is not sold by Amazon. It is sold by the marketplace seller. In this case, a company called CCL Computers. CCL Computers are a major PC and hardware retailer in the UK, and have their own website.
2) The monitor is cheaper on their own website than they are selling it via Amazon. Also, buying it directly from their website avoids the potential warranty complication of buying the monitor from a marketplace instead of directly from a vendor.
3) Furthermore, the product details sections on Amazon are notoriously bad. For instance, it also says the monitor has:
Processor Type Celeron 3865U
It really doesn't have a Celeron 3865U in it... because it's not a NAS or a mini PC, it's a monitor(!)
So just because the Amazon listing promises X, don't believe it.
4) The warranty the monitor has would be provided by Dell. That warranty should be the same from whichever authorised reseller you buy it from. Dell list the warranty for that model as being:
PC & Laptop Accessories | Dell UK
Equip your business with PC accessories & professional notebooks. Free delivery when you shop from the official Dell UK store!www.dell.com
But my point is that some companies may not honour the warranty if the item is bought through a marketplace.
Buying the monitor direct from CCL is cheaper than buying it off that Amazon listing, and avoids the potential issue of Dell saying your warranty is invalid because you bought it off a marketplace.
There's literally no upside to buying it off that Amazon listing.
No worries. Online marketplaces (and shopping in general) have confusion built in
