• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER (8 GB GDDR6) GPU
• AMD B450 Chipset
• 16 GB DDR4 3000 MHz Gaming Memory
• 500 GB SSD
• 550W 80+ Bronze Power Supply
• 802.11AC Wi-Fi

I got this pc 4yrs ago, I was thinking of getting the nzxt h6 case with kraken 360 elite AIO cooler. I was wondering if I take my pc apart and put it in this new case, will everything fit? And maybe can I get upgrade storage? Do I want to think about graphics upgrade as well?

What is your monitor resolution and refresh rate?

I would upgrade the CPU to a 5700X3D either way. (Update mobo BIOS before installing new CPU.)

If you want a GPU upgrade, I would also consider a PSU upgrade depending on the exact make and model of your existing PSU.

1920 x 1080
Refresh rate at 60 hz

550W 80+ Bronze Power Supply is my PSU? Is that right?

It looks like it should fit, you can always add an extra sata ssd for mass storage if you need more. As for the graphics card, as MrN1ce9uy stated you will want to upgrade your power supply, preferably to a decent 750 or 850w unit. An RX 7900 GRE or RTX 4070 super would make for a decent upgrade from your 2070 super, your current card performs about like an RX 6600 XT or RX 7600 in the review below. Other than that, I ditto the thought on upgrading to a Ryzen 7 5700X3D, but make sure to update your bios to the latest version first. Also i would upgrade your RAM to 32GB as 16GB is becoming a bit limiting for newer titles.

More storage would be ideal. If I do go with the Rtx4070 or a lower range. I should upgrade cpu which is the Ryzen to pair with it right?

For the gpu upgrade to be worth it you want at least an RX 6800xt, 6900 xt, or 7800 xt or RTX 4070 or 3090. Technically an RTX 3080 is also around the same performance, but only having 10gb of vram will make it a problem problem sooner vs the other cards. A good rule of thumb for GPU upgrades is that you should try to get around double the performance of your current card each time. Or at the very minimum, a card that is 50% faster. A Ryzen 7 5700X3D would make a good pairing with those cards, you will need to update your bios before you swap out your CPU though. Otherwise it likely will not boot with the new CPU.

Should fit.

Why do you need 360mm AIO?
Does your current system have problems with cooling? Do you overclock your cpu?

And maybe can I get upgrade storage?

Sure.

Do I want to think about graphics upgrade as well?

That's not really anything for someone else to answer.
You decide on, what you want or do not want.

Generally depends on your current issues with your system and goals for improvement.
If you're happy with current system performance, then upgrade probably is not necessary.

I don’t really need a 360 aio. But I really like how it looks with the screen. It’s kinda overkill but I want the nice looking aesthetic. But abit if performance upgrade from my current setup.

I know. It’s silly.

So what I end getting is:

Amd Ryzen 7 5800X3d
Nzxt Kraken 360 Elite
32GB TForce Delta RGB DDR 3600mhz (16gx2)
White Asiahorse Cosmiq RGB
Lian Li Strimmer
XPG Core Reactor 850w Gold
Gigabyte Gaming Rx7600 8GB

So my question now, do I need a better monitor? I currently have Samsung Curve t55, 2 of them

You're spending over $400 on AIO and RGB bling and getting only Rx7600 ?
GPU upgrade is ridiculous. Rx7600 is only about 20% stronger than RTX 2070 Super.

Spend all that AIO/RGB money into GPU instead.
