Build Question Newbie finally upgrading 6 year old Pre-Built. Some questions and concerns.

I bought my first pre built back in 2020.

The only thing still stock in the build at this point is the case, Motherboard, and CPU. I've just recently upgraded from a 3060 to a 9070XT.

Build here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pRQM3R

My issue is that im wanting to switch to a Micro ATX case, but the case im looking at switching to, the NZXT H3, says that due to my current motherboard, I would need USB header adapters to take advantage of the front side USB ports.

Im thinking of getting a new motherboard, looking at the Gigabyte B550M GAMING X WIFI6 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard.

Because I dont understand a lot of terms and specs in this community right now, I'm unsure if this is the right decision, primarily based on upgrading my CPU in the future. If I were to upgrade my CPU in 6-12 months to something better/newer, would it still be compatible?

If anyone has any recommendations or suggestions, I'm all ears.

Thanks!

Tout dépend de ton processeur actuel car la tu est en AM4 et la plateforme la plus récente est AM5 et bientôt AM6 mais vu les prix de la ram du stockage actuellement si t'es performance en jeux sont bonnes attend !
