in the market for a high end qd oled and I have some questions

I face the only window in my room but i have the blinds fully closed usually. Even in this kind of controlled lighting will I have issues with ambient lighting making my blacks purples? When i say facing the window, if the blinds were open, the sun beams at me but at the back of the monitor, so no issues with reflections at all. otherwise, I could invest in some black out curtains.

The model I was planning on getting was the AW2725DF. Is there another model you would recommend. I've been told this is an all rounder amazing monitor. Glossy, apparently good support if any issues arise etc etc. I'd prefer to not go higher than 360hz as I doubt I'd be able to reach that in most games. I mainly play single players but I do love the occasional shooters like the finals, arc raiders, battlefield, csgo.

HDR... how good is the HDR on this model. I currently have the vg27a IPS monitor and usually have my brightness around 20 in the day time and 0 at night. I've always wanted to try HDR but I was also considering a 4th Gen Tandem OLED but with how severe the vertical banding is I'm gonna stray away for now but the HDR performance in terms of brightness sounded amazing compared to 3rd gen QD OLED. I'm not rich, I worked hard for weeks to get this upgrade so me switching out my monitor often isn't something I'm willingly to put up with.

I've also heard the AW2725DF isn't the most color accurate out of the box granted it's still an oled but I wouldn't mind tinkering to get as perfect colors as I can out of a monitor. Do other models have better colors out of the box?

Last questions, from my research I hear VRR flickering is a thing. How would one mitigate this issue. I have a 5070 ti w/ 5700x3d. Does this only happen with variable base frame rate or maybe when my 1% lows are all over the place let's say if the game is optimized.

Sorry for the all the questions but I'd appreciate all the insight as getting the new gpu and oled will be such a huge thing for me so I don't wanna have buyers regret at all. I will be buying my monitor is a couple days! Taking all the insight I can get.

5070 ti w/ 650w psu

unfortunately I'm apart of the issue. I bought a 5070 ti and It's on the way. Unfortunately I currently have a pretty high quality 650 gold rated psu. I'd like to think I can plug and play granted the 5070 ti is pretty power efficient. I will be buying a new psu because I would like to eventually overclock and just for the sake peace of mind.

would it be a terrible idea to pop in the new gpu or should I wait til I buy the psu. It would realistically only be in my system for about a week. I'm just waiting on pay day.

also, if I'm gonna be doing aggressive overclocks. is 850w fine or should I just get 1000w for future proofing, just in case maybe when the 70 series gpus in a couple years release, I won't be in the same situation where I have to basically rebuild my rig.

edit:

ryzen 7 5700x3d - 5070 ti - 32gb 3200mhz ram

my psu is the corsair cx650f rgb
