Hey there! So during this quarantine I gotten bored and decided to rip apart an old pc that mom used for work back in 2006 and decided to up it into a decent gaming setup. The case I am using is a dell c521, and I need help choosing a motherboard that would be to use in this application. I want to run  a AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor  and run it with Noctua NH-D15 SE-AM4 (but mostly likely going to have to run a low profile  Noctua NH-U12S chromax.black or any recomendations you ll have to make it fit in the case).  I am also looking for 16gb ram (or should i up the ram?) and don't know about what graphic card to use (would like to spend 300ish for now and wait till quarantine is over to upgrade higher)  and for my ssd I would like to use is WD Black SN750 or any recommendations you all have . I am looking to use this set up for 3-4 years. Thanks for the help:)
