Welcome to the forum @SemPhilip

Without a budget or any other information about what the pc is for etc.

I would change the core i5 to either a core i7 with 8 cores-16 threads or a AMD 5800x and B550/X570 motherboard. Games will start to use more cores as both the consoles use 8/16 chips in them. If you do video editing etc you will need mroe cores.

Up the ram to 3600mhz as intel and AMD both support that speed.

The 1tb QVO is a sata ssd. Get a NVME drive like the The WD BLACK™ SN750 NVMe™ SSD 1tb for a little more money or the sn550 for about the same money. Less cable spaghetti as well with nvme vs sata :)

Change the txm psu to a RM 750 (or non-X) to be fully modular and up the warranty to 10 years with giving a bit more power should you need to upgrade at a later date.
