Hello, I'm looking for guidance on upgrading my CPU and motherboard. I plan to install an i5 10400f LGA1200 and realized it won't work with my existing motherboard because my old PC is outdated. I also intend to upgrade my current motherboard (ASRock H81M-DG4) to the ASRock H510M-HVS. However, the part picker says it can't confirm if my current GPU (1650 Asus OC) fits in my case (Aerocool Strike-X One ATX) with the new motherboard. Thanks ahead of time.

When the GPU matches the case on the present board, it will also work with the updated board.
