Hello!
I am planning on building a new PC in the near future as my current one has little no upgrade path available and is becoming quite dated and slow.
I have a pretty good idea of what I would like however as I am relatively unaware of the current computer scene, I am completely open to and suggestions or tips anyone might have.

Here is my current PCPartPicker list: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/RrCcsX

 

 

• CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
• CPU Cooler: Ryzen stock cooler (Will hopefully upgrade but for now stock will have to do)
• Mobo:  Asus ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING II ATX AM4 Motherboard
• Ram: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200
• Storage: Western Digital Blue SN550 1 TB (M.2 NVME SSD)
• Case: Corsair iCUE 220T RGB Airflow ATX Mid Tower Case
• PSU: EVGA BQ 600 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply
• GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1050 2 GB Video Card
• OS: Windows 10 Pro (Already Own)
• Others: 1x Corsair iCUE SP120 RGB PRO Fan + Gigabyte GC-WBAX200 (PCI Wireless and Bluetooth card)

I am worried about the size of the motherboard and the small form factor of the case so if anyone is able to give me some insight into whether it would fit that would be great
I realise I will have to split the 4-pin Fan connectors in order to have enough connectors (hopefully having two 3-pin fans in a single 4-pin slot won't cause any issues)

 

EDIT 1: A friend told me to ditch the PCI WiFi and Bluetooth Card for a M.2 WiFi and Bluetooth Card, Is this a good idea?
 

Best Regards,
Kobe
