Need help with buying my first higher end gaming PC

Hi!
I'm currently planning on a complete upgrade of my current setup and I just need some help/reassurance that I'm not buying absolute shit since I'm not really the most knowledgeable of the intricacies of certain components.

I'll be using it almost exclusively for gaming at 1440p/180hz on high settings and will get a VR headset in the near future (most likely something like the Quest 3 pro) for PCVR, so I just want to make sure that the PC will run pretty much any newer VR and AAA game relatively easily.

I don't plan on overclocking anything, I just want the PC to run as quiet and cool as possible with good airflow and decent cable management.

This is what I've got so far, along with the prices in my country (we don't have Amazon here so these are the lowest prices I've been able to find). and I'm ready to spend around 1900-2000€ including peripherals. I don't know a lot about mobos, PSUs, cases and CPU coolers so that's what I'd need the most help with. Though I do know that I'd ideally want a 850W fully modular 80+Gold PSU for under 120€.

For the MB, I'd like to get one that makes it possible to potentially upgrade to a better CPU in the future, if that will be necessary at all. I don't really know what else to look out for, but I don't really want to spend more than 130-150€ on a MB.

Any feedback is appreciated!
