I see no reason to upgrade the motherboard.
If you so desperately wanted to change it, get a B550 unit so atleast you can get pci-e 4th gen support when you upgrade the cpu down the line.

I agree with getting an ssd. Very good choice.

And now, why that cooler? Yes, it's the "best" cooler, but it's like, so over the top it's unnecessary. the NH-U12S would be much more sensible.
Still very good and better than you need, but not as expensive and huge as the 15D.
