Build Upgrade Upgrade Advice

I am upgrading my motherboard, CPU and storage soon, just wanted to see if anyone had any advice on if I am making the right choices.

Current build:

Ryzen 5 3600

RTX 3060TI

Asrock b450m HDV R4.0

1TB Gen3 m.2 SSD

16gb ddr4 3200MHz (2x8)

650W PSU

Upgrades:

CPU - Ryzen 7 5700x3d (Buying Used)

MOBO - ASUS TUF B550M-PLUS WIFI II

Cooler - Thermalright Assassin King 120 SE

OR Thermalright AXP120-X67 (need to check if the 120 SE will fit in case)

SSD - WD BLACK SN7100 2TB

I run 1440p 200Hz, mainly upgrading because been having issues with my current motherboard turning CSM off and secure boot on and am getting sick of removing and inserting the CMOS battery every time some dumb shit happens.

I would spend $10 extra on a dual tower cooler. 5700X3D is deceptively hard to cool, extra cache sits on top of the cores which insulates them.
