need cpu mobo ram have an air cooler currently using the lga2011 cpu would like to use that again if possible, looking at the mounting bracket it has holes for a smaller fit.
budget around £400
actually may get a AIO instead.
assuming you bought your cooler at the same time as your x79/99 rig, your cooler will not fit unless the manufacturer has made an am5/lga 1700 mounting kit.

maybe time to ditch that too, will get a 360mm AIO
a mobo with a wifi adaptor included would be good too.
Man of Honour
AM5 gonna cost you around the £440 mark with 32gb of DDR5.
7600 comes with a stock cooler so you can get one later if yours don't fit..

What are you upgrading from?
What's the model name? If it is a Noctua, you may be able to apply for a free bracket.
Just gaming, nothing else?
x79 system, i will ditch the cooler and go AIO, gaming mainly yes.
Man of Honour
To keep closer to budget intel
12600kf £160 or 12600k £180
MSI Pro B760-P WIFI DDR4 £150
32gb DDR4 3200mhz £60
Total
£370 or £390

With your very tight budget I'm not sure that makes sense, because it would have a big impact on what you can buy. A phantom spirit or peerless assassin is £35 and it outperforms many AIOs.
I'd consider a 12600KF (they're on sale just over £150) and a B760 motherboard like MSI's B760-P, or if you want DDR5, B760 Gaming Plus or B760 DS3H DDR5.
whats the difference in the kf and k ?
Man of Honour
F means no integrated graphics so you need a gpu to display.
Personally would pay £20 more for the k as a back up graphics solution, can save so much hassle.

thank you will take a look
if you have no plans to upgrade the GPU...
