Budget (including currency): 1000 CAD

Country: Canada 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Warzone, CS:GO, Tarkov 

Other details I currently have an Alienware aurora r9 pc, with a i7-9700, Rtx 2060, 32GB of ddr4 ram @2666mz, and stock fell mother board (which I wish to upgrade), a 460w psu (which I would also like to upgrade), and a custom installed Corsair h60 cpu cooler( which I could also upgrade). 
 

I was wondering if I could take my cpu, gpu, ram etc. And put that into a new case and motherboard too make it feel like more of my own and help deal with a noise and heat problems with my current case and setup.

So basically transfer everything but the motherboard and psu? Sure that works. You are even leaving the 2 most important parts in the alienware (and 2 most problematic parts outside the alienware) and can then sell it on as a barebones. Plenty of market for that.

Do either of you have any suggestions for a good mother board that would work well with my current hardware.

Pretty much any Z390 board.  The ram will still run at 2666 though.
