Order a second SSD right away. That 1TB will fill up surprisingly fast, and you're going to want to reserve that first drive for your OS and go-to applications. After that, everything else can go on a second SSD.
For me, I'm going with a 4TB Western Digital (WD_BLACK SN850X NVMe™ SSD). From my research, it seems like this drive and the Samsung 990 Pro are the drives of choice. They are typically priced the same, with WD often slightly cheaper. Right now, the WD is $319, but if you get really creative with coupons and cashback, you can knock a full $100 off that price before taxes. I deliberated settling on a 2TB drive, but if you're paying $120-$150 for 2TB, why not just spend the extra $70-$100 and double your space? For me, it's a no brainer since I also edit video and have a huge Steam library for gaming.
Oh, also, don't forget to buy a heat sink to cool off these drives! I'm a sucker for RGB. If anyone has any suggestions on a cheap but reliable solution, I'm all ears.
For RAM, if you're looking to upgrade, I can only find one kit that seems to play nice with this particular motherboard (please please please correct me if I'm wrong on this). That is the Crucial Pro (Crucial Pro 64GB Kit (2x32GB) DDR5-5600 UDIMM
CP2K32G56C46U5). It's on sale right now for $140 through Amazon and Crucial. No real cashback opportunities that I can see. For that reason, I'm actually holding off and am going to watch the market closely. I don't see any major rush to upgrade from 32GB to 64GB. It may be fun to see a performance jump if/when I do finally upgrade.
Hope this helps. I've been very active in Reddit and here in the SD forums, trying best I can to get as much info as possible about these rigs.

Seems like an older motherboard inside of this or else it would be a solid deal.

edit: The LGA 1700 socket released in November 2021, so really not that old at all.
Assuming it's the same 4090 deal they attempted to deliver mine yesterday when I wasn't home
