Please Tell me if this upgrade will be a good investment or should I change Diffrent parts of the pc. And if something is too overkill on the upgrade side.

My Target fps and resolution would be 1440p 144hz g sync montior which i will buy mid september ( currently 1080p75hz ) i want at least 80fps on ultra !

Or if I can choose something better , Every suggestion is more than welcome !!

Why so much power for your PSU? You definitely don't need nearly that much, 550 would do nicely. Also, is this a gaming focused PC? The NVMe drive won't show any benefit.  On top of that, the CPU is underpowered for the graphics card, you'd face a bottleneck in many scenarios. What's your performance target?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

Honestly I would hold off. My 970 is still chugging away, even keeping up at 2560x1080 77hz in the games that I still play. One question no one has asked yet is what resolution and refresh rate are you shooting for? If it's just 1080p60, I say hold off unless there's something you're trying to do that's having trouble.

I personally wouldn't get the H500i, the H500 series cases by NZXT have terrible airflow. I had an H500i and was pretty disappointed.

1) I would go with the 5700XT over the 2070 Super. Both cards have approximately the same performance, yet the 5700XT is around 100 USD cheaper. Source

2) What resolution/refresh rate are you playing at? At lower resolutions (1080p) the 6600k is starting to show its age in newer games and can cause jarring frame spikes in games such as Battlefield V. I would also recommend purchasing a 1440p 144z monitor to fully leverage your gpu.
