what you're upgrading from- 1050ti gaming laptop

Not a bad system. Biggest change I'd make is the motherboard: the MSI B660M-A Pro is a much better board for the same price. 

 

Can't really comment on the case, mATX is a form factor I don't particularly care about for cases so don't know what the good and bad ones are.

i think the asrock one is identical with a few more ports and $10 less

The problem with the ASRock board is the VRM on it is quite bad, and can power throttle a lot of CPUs. With a 12400 whether it likely won't make a huge performance difference, but if you ever want to upgrade to say a 12700 or 13700, odds are the chip will power throttle quite hard and performance will be pretty bad. The MSI board has a pretty respectable VRM solution for the price, so for $10 more I'd say it's well worth it.
