Want to build new PC starting with CPU and upgrading my GPU later

[Parfox]

Budget (including currency): Ryzen 7 or i7 level

Country: Norway

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: MMOs and FPS games

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

Corsair Vengeance LED DDR4 3200MHz 16GB

Intel Core i7-7700K

Corsair Force Series LE 480GB

ASUS GeForce GTX 1080Ti

Corsair AX 860
Corsair Hydro Series H115i

 

I bought the parts for my pc in 2017 and are feeling gaming and videos on the side is slowing it down. I don't feel like the GPU right now is the issue, and so want to upgrade my storage and CPU in the first part. I'm not sure what I need and what I can keep. Should I keep my PSU or should I swap it out when I'm upgrading.

Speaking of RAM G.Skill DDR5 6000MHz 32GB is currently down 33% from 2 670,- NOK to 1 799,- NOK. 

When it comes to motherboard the main brands I can get are MSI and ASUS with the option of NZXT N7 for AMD and Intel. 

It is worth noting that while I don't like it I'm limited to wifi where I live now so the motherboard needs a wifi connection, and would like it integrated. 

Asus have also gotten the cold shoulder it seems tough I haven't had a issue with them the last 2 pc I have built, though as previously mention it was in 2017. 
 

As stated in the budget I want to go for a i7 or a Ryzen 7 CPU but want to see if there are any pitfalls that I should be aware of, and how much I should spend on a motherboard to pair it with. 
I have always gone with Intel as it has been the no brainer option, and have always felt that AMD is for people who want to troubleshoot more. I don't know how valid this is today though I have read some issues with AMD and some RAM ships.

 

I want to upgrade my storage and have looked at:
Kingston KC3000 M.2 2280 NVMe SSD 2TB but have hear that Kingston have a bad rep. It is currently on sale for 1 499,- NOK down from 2 390,- NOK.

Do you have any feedback on building with AMD vs Intel today, will there be any issues or is it plug and play?

That's inherently bad for am5. Its more suited to 6000 CL30 or 5600 Cl28

Both are fine. I just picked am5 as it has more of a future

Why not a 7800X3D ?

Feel like that is a power creep in terms of cost, it would be about 1500,- NOK extra and I don't know if I would see the benefits

Not sure what you are referring to here, the RAM set is a 6000 set and not a 5600, that said I don't know if it is still good or bad for AM5
G.Skill Flare X5 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL36 Memory is also a option looking at the pc part picker and is a 36-36-36-96 timing

6000 CL36 is bad for am5. Try and get a 6000 CL30 or 5600 CL28 kit

I don't have a specific budget as I'm not apposed to spend more if there is a no brainer benefit, but would like to stop at 10-11k in NOK for the main parts
