I'm looking to upgrade my current PC setup for gaming and music production, and I'd like some advice on using my existing parts to build a better system. I currently have an Intel i5-12400 processor, 32GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 RAM, a 1TB ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro M.2 SSD, and an Intel Arc A380 GPU. I want to get a new case and motherboard while keeping my old processor, RAM, and storage. I'm also considering upgrading to a new video card, like the B580 or the 9060XT 16GB, and I want a motherboard that allows future storage expansion with another M.2 slot. I mainly play games like Fortnite and Rocket League, and I'm interested in trying out some other games and maybe doing some light video editing in the future. What do you all suggest?

Check out this build I found! It should be compatible with your current parts: [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wLNLVF](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wLNLVF). Just keep in mind, what are your main goals with these upgrades? The new GPU would definitely improve your gaming experience, but the rest of the upgrades might not be necessary unless you're really looking for some performance increases elsewhere.
I get that, but I'm wondering if my current motherboard can even support extra features since I heard it's pretty specific to HP.
