I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

Is it recommended to get water cooling for the CPU as people keep telling me that I need a fire extinguisher for an AMD processor

no stock cooler is fine. its much better than intel stock cooler. and btw that cpu runs cooler than intel 7th-9th gen cpu's anyway

Also is it worth it if I wanted to get a 2070 super as I kind of want the features that you get with it

depends on the price. rx 5700 XT is around 1-5% worse than rtx 2070 super but 20% cheaper.

with rtx 2070 super you get ray tracing (it cant really run it in other games than minecraft), DLSS 2.0 (good feature, but is it worth 1000 dollars?)

This will get you within £17 of your budget.

 

It also includes a lot of well reviewed parts (Case, MB etc.) that shouldn't let you down.

 

I reduced your storage to 500gb, put your OS on it, upgrade later when you have more money.

So I am wondering does it matter what case I would use or could I use any?

Realistically, you can probably just use a cardboard box and rest your motherboard on it (I been doing this for 2 weeks as I wait for my case to be delivered), but air flow and thermal control I think may be important in various ways, longevity, performance (cards and CPUs will throttle if they get TOO hot) fans might struggle if there is no air and they are pushing nothing about (I don't know on that one but sounds reasonable).

 

The case in that list is one of the cheapest well reviewed by Gamers Nexus cases around.  It has good air flow, good thermals and is reasonably priced.  The Meshify C is more expensive, the Silverstone Redline R06 Pro is bloody hard to get...refer to my statement above in relation to cardboard boxes...and many of the others are just more expensive.

 

This isn't a massively powerful machine, and AMD isn't that great for overclocking anyway, so you could probably get away with just about anything, just remember you have no cooler but the stock air-cooler.

I was thinking of buying an corsair case and buying fans to put in the case instead of that case
