Two things, first, both case options that you have listed (NZXT H710 and H510) are terrible cases. Yes, they look good, but they are very poor airflow characteristics. I really don't recommend going with either of them. 

 

Going X570 for the motherboard might be a waste of money unless you need a specific feature that only that chipset can provide. If not, you are much better off with a B550 board.

The NZXT cases don't have the best airflow. A case with a mesh front would be better i.e Corsair 4000D/5000D Airflow, Phanteks P400A or Fractal Meshify C etc.

 

Avoid that board at all costs as the VRM is terrible. The B550 version on the other hand is very good.
