Building PC for first time.

Building PC for first time.

Hello all, I see some people posting their build in here so I will try the same. I have only bought a prebuild pc in the past (details below) and need an upgrade. Maybe some would be able to help me or share some thoughts if anything obvious is wrong or missing. I have planned this with some research but feeling like I am just guessing. I will setup price alarms for GPU on geizhals.de (which i heard is an alright site for germany) for a while at least and am planning to buy from amazon, mindfactory.de, alternate.de (or mix).

Reasons:
I was not able to play games (Windrose, RDR2) in good quality; also sometimes games crash if not in windowed mode.
Besides the mentioned I am planning to play Expedition 33.
Otherwise I am playing Trackmania and LoL, but those are fine still; have played e.g. Assasin's Creed Origins and AoE4 in the past.

Me currently:
CPU: Prozessor AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Eight-Core Processor, 3700 MHz, 8 Kern(e), 16 logische(r) Prozessor(en)
RAM: 16 GB
storage type: SPCC Solid State Disk, Kapazität: 477 GB
GPU: Radeon RX550/550 Series
motherboard: BaseBoard-Produkt A320M-A PRO MAX (MS-7C52)
Monitors: PHL 242E1GZ (1080p, up to 165 Hz); VG240Y S3 (1080p, up to 180 Hz)
Case: HM24 LC-Power Tower, Midi-Tower
bought in 2021: https://www.notebooksbilliger.de/hm24+gaming+pc+hm246669+699858

Target:
Budget: up to 2500 €
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D (400 € on mindfactory)
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5070 (~600 € on mindfactory, ~580 on alternate) (fine because monitor resolution is only 1080p)
RAM: 32 GB DDR5-6000 CL30 (2×16 GB kit, very expensive on mindfactory) (~400 € on mindfactory, amazon, alternate)
Storage: 2TB SanDisk WD Black SN850X (~300 € on mindfactory) + possibly my old 477GB SPCC SSD.
Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming WIFI AMD B650E So.AM5 DDR5 ATX Retail (~260 € on mindfactory)
CPU Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 All-in-One (~75 € on mindfactory)
Power Supply: Corsair RM850x (~125 €)
Case: Fractal Design North Charcoal TG Dark (~120 € on mindfactory)
--- cost: 2100-2500 €. (Current mindfactory wishlist: € 2.265,27)

Notes: I have never build a pc before so wondering how I know that the case/tower is alright for everything or if my current one could even work

Thank you in advance for any help!
