I currently have a Acer Nitro 50 and I’ve upgraded my cooling system and upgraded to a GTX 3070 and all has been good with a 500w PSU but would like to know good upgrades and compatibility for the upgrades regarding a PSU, and CPU. I’m also unsure what case would be compatible with the nitro 50

    You can't upgrade the PSU as its a single stage Acer proprietary type, with the CPU leave the CPU to the model that you have as that is the best CPU for the chipset that your board has. Updating the GPU and the RAM is the best that you can do to improve performance unless you have an i5 CPU then upgrade to the same i7 CPU. Give more details of your Nitro N50-6XX model, as then we can give you exact details.

    The Acer motherboard will fit any ATX case, which are the majority of cases available. If you're gonna do all these upgrades, you're basically building a new PC. Might as well spend a bit more and get a better motherboard, it will save you a lot of headaches trying to find appropriate PSU for the Acer motherboard. Acer motherboards don't use standard plugs.
