I am heavily bottle-necked by the cpu, and I will like to upgrade my ram too.

I will like to jump into Ryzen, a micro atx build will be nice, but i am not sure if my psu and gpu will fit those cases.

What will be a nice budget option to play all games at 1080p and minimum 144 fps available now and that will let me upgrade to Ryzen 3000 just by buying the new cpu?

Off the top of my head, can't imagine what case your PSU won't fit in, it's standard ATX and there's no micro ATX PSU size. 

 

As for graphics card, it's not enormous, so any reasonable case with a decent layout would be fine. Pcpartpicker has pretty reliable compatibility for case size with GPU spacing so you can rely on that.

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

I'd recommend waiting fro b550 because it should have better power delivery, but for currently available stuff I think this'll do best. The psu is for if you decide to go sff, the only reason you'd have to replace the psu (the one you have should be fine if you stick with the case you have)
