Faster CPU, good cooler and a good 750W power supply. The case is the cheapest decent case with USB-C in the front panel, I don't think the H210 supports that motherboard by the way, it's ITX only as far as I can see.

That model doesnt comes with one.

 

Also, add an M.2 NMVE SSD, that mobo has 2 slots.

 

Besides that its a solid build, you could probably save some money on the RAM thought.

 

I just saw the case, read some reviews, many people complain about the thermals in that case, its too closed and has very limited air flow.

Thats an option I could not find myself at that price! Damn, you're pretty good!

 

I actually prefer Intel chipset everytime I can.. Realtek never has been a success for me.

I have a pcigen 3 nvme in old pc (i5-6600k)

Btw, I'm still lightly considering my first option the 5700X, it's really not that far from the 12600k in performance. What's worrying me about that motherboard (B550M PRO VDH WIFI) is that recent amazon reviews and also here people have issues (wifi, restarting/reboot unstable issues)

 

If I were to just replace the motherboard with the next cheapest option that includes bluetooth/wifi PRIME B550M-A then the gap is only 400dkk between that and the 12600k build, which is quite remarkable..
