I'm looking to upgrade my gaming setup and could use some advice. Currently, I have a GTX 1660 Super GPU, an Intel i5 10400f CPU, a basic case with fans, a Be Quiet Pure Power 12 650W PSU, a Be Quiet Rock Slim 2 CPU cooler, a GIGABYTE H410M H V2 motherboard (which I know isn't great), 16GB of G.Skill RAM (2x8GB), and a 1TB Kingston SSD for storage. I'm mainly interested in upgrading my motherboard to something like the ROG B550-F Gaming Wi-Fi, but I realize that would require changing my CPU and RAM too. The current motherboard annoys me since I have to use a dongle for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and I'd appreciate someone else's perspective on this. Thanks!

Before deciding on upgrades, what's your budget and what do you plan to do with your PC? I see you're into games like CS2, Fortnite, and Valorant. Knowing your budget will help others suggest the best options. By the way, do you have a preference for a dual monitor setup? That can impact GPU choices too.
It looks like there's a compatibility issue with your CPU and the motherboard you want. Make sure to research that before you buy anything! If the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are your only concerns, you can consider getting a dedicated Wi-Fi/Bluetooth card that fits into the bottom slot of your motherboard. They're usually quite affordable and can solve your issues without a full component overhaul.
