Upgrading Pre-Built

Hi folks.  I'm hoping to upgrade my existing ROG pre-built by swapping out some stuff and keeping some others.  It's one of the "tilted case ones" from the LTT pre-built video from a few weeks ago and a lot of the stuff I'm pretty happy with, but feel I could get a better experience and longevity from it by changing out a few pieces.  I'm comfortable enough building/maintaining machines, but far from an expert - here's my plan (so far)

 

Stuff to keep:

- I7-10700KF

- 32GB (2 x 16), 3200mhz RAM

- RTX 2070 Super

- 512GB SSD & 2TB HDD

- monitor, mouse, keyboard & speakers (they're all relatively new and will be fine for a long time)

 

Stuff to upgrade:

- case & case fans (poor ventilation & pretty loud for me)

- CPU cooler (came with a "tower style" cooler, but it's pretty small)

- Motherboard (G15CK with B460 chipset - no many customization options in BIOS and terrible fan control options from what I've been able to determine through experimenting)

- PSU (seems to get pretty hot and is non-modular with cheap-looking wires/connectors)

 

So, with all that being said, here's my list off parts I'm thinking of ordering.  It is still going to be solely a gaming machine, and I don't mind a bit of RGB (I'm almost 40 and me/my kids still think it's kind of neat!)  Suggestions are appreciated if you think there's something better or something I'm missing.

 

Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow with 3 added 120mm case fans

           or

           Cooler Master MasterBox NR600 with 3 added 120mm case fans

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition

Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix B560-A Gaming WiFi (kind of want to stick to ASUS MB due to familiaity and past experience)

PSU: Corsair TX650M

 

So that's the idea so far.  Any help or input is most welcome.  Happy New Year!

Just off of my basic look at you list it seems like those all should be good components to use for your upgrade. For your fans and/or cooler Noctua is always a great company to look at but the options you have selected are also great.

Corsair 4000D Airflow

The Corsair 4000D is a very nice looking case, with good air flow. I would call that an upgrade compared to that hotbox you have.

Hope it helps! Be Quiet! Pure Rock 2 Black will definitely be better than the Hyper 212. You'll want a fully modular PSU too.
