Hi. My first post here hope I follow all the rules. I have built before so not my first build, but I did buy this rig as a prebuilt. I wanted to add bluetooth to the rig so I was planning on just getting the Z590 ac which comes with the WIFI/BT on the board. Since I decided to do this I figured I would go ahead and change out the case since I do have some problems keeping temps down with this case. My question to you guys would be about the case. What would be a good replacement that would support the current system for better airflow without having to change the other hardware? I am okay with the I/O on the H510 so no need to expand that. I looked around on PCpartpicker but would like some suggestions if anyone has any. Thanks. Also the $300 is for the motherboard and case. The MB I am seeing for between 179-199US so that leaves around 100 for the case.

Also, for the bluetooth, you can just add a PCIe wi-fi card to the build. You don't need to get a whole new motherboard.

I would recommend the MSI B560 Tomahawk Wi-Fi motherboard, if you want to just get a new motherboard anyways. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/m2mmP6/msi-mag-b560-tomahawk-wifi-atx-lga1200-motherboard-mag-b560-tomahawk-wifi

Thank you. 

 

I thought about just adding a bluetooth card but I'm not a fan of the external antennas. The reason I want the bluetooth is to eliminate all the peripheral cables for a cleaner look (and to give the cats less to chew on) so built in works better.

 

The corsair case seems to fit that aesthetic well though and is probably what i will go with. 

 

Is there any technical advantage to the B560 board over the Z590? I do kinda have a gigabyte thing going. haha

Quite the opposite. The Z590 motherboard allows overclocking of unlocked cpu (F suffix). The B560 does not.
