I'm planning to do a case swap for my Alienware Aurora R9. The components I'll be transferring include an i5 9400 CPU, a GTX 1650 GPU, 32GB of DDR4 RAM, a 970 Evo Plus SSD, and a BarraCuda ST1000DM010 HDD. I believe I only need a new case, motherboard, and power supply unit (PSU). I have $200 in Amazon gift cards and I'm willing to spend an additional $100 to $200 if necessary. Can anyone recommend some good options?

You might find it tough to get a motherboard for your Intel 9th gen chip on Amazon; often, those are used. When it comes to cases, it really boils down to personal preference. For a PSU, check out the MONTECH Century II; it's a solid choice that’s available on Amazon.
So, just to clarify, would a used Z390 motherboard for around $100 work well for my build?
