Upgrade PC build plan |

My existing PC is 13 years old. In addition PC Health Check says it can't be upgraded to Windows 11.
Issues:
Doesn't support secure boot
Doesn't support TPM2.0
Processor not supported.
So my plan is to start thinking about an upgrade before I need it. In this way I can properly plan the move and be ready in case something hurries the inevitable.
The thought was to use my case and PSU, or I have some bigger PSU in storage.
Swap in a new mobo, CPU and ram.
I've done a couple new builds some years ago. Looking like things have changed so expecting to have to learn a bit.
Current setup:
DH67BL (LGA1155) I believe this is mATX
Intel Core i5 2500 Sandy Bridge
DDR3 16GB
Case 450L x 430H x 200W
Graphics GTX 550Ti
Useage:
Internet
Videos
No gaming
Very light graphics work
Where to start?
What are the considerations?
Will my case fit regular ATX?
Perhaps buy parts in a bundle?
I understand I can upgrade to W11 with suitable PC spec.
Thanks.
