My cpu is 4 yr old with a 8th gen chip
Now I looking for a good mb and cpu chip to future proof it for another good 4 years. I got my bolt case from aftershock and later on a upgrade from 1070ti to 3070.
Games wise I play COD most of the time and war thunder occasionally
Could I please seek the pro advice for upgrading the case, chip and the mb please?

CPU (Bolt) : Intel® Core i7-8700 Coffee Lake 6 Core Processor (12M Cache, up to 4.6 GHz)
DESKTOP MOTHERBOARD (BOLT, ZEAL) : H310 Chipset Motherboard

Graphics Card 3070
PSU 750w
Memory: 32GB DDR4 2666MHZ (16GB x 2)
Solid State Drive, Bolt : 500GB SSD
First Hard Drive (Desktop) : TOSHIBA 2TB 3.5 INCH HDD (Buffer Size 64MB)

cant go wrong with a ryzen 5 5600 + asrock b550m pro4 @ $364 from dynacore. the ram looks a tad slow though, so u can consider getting 3200/3600mhz kits as u will be leaving performance on the table with 2666mhz ram. u probably dont need 32gb too, 16 is enough for gaming, and u can sell off ur current kit to offset the cost of getting a new one.

as for case, here are a few suggestions for $150 and below:
tecware flatline argbcheap, mesh intake, fits long gpus and tall coolers, preinstalled rgb fans54pc themes
cooler master mb311l argbbetter quality flatline75pc themes
tecware fusiongood alternative to nr200 with support for cheaper non itx parts82.50techdeals
corsair 4000d airflowaffordable, spacious, good airflow119dynacore/pc themes
lian li lancool 216good thermal performance135dynacore
lian li o11 mini air/dynamic minigreat looking case, very versatile~150bizgram/dynacore/fuwell/pc themes

I wonder if any of those boutique shop that you mention does the installation with the parts that you buy from them? Don't mind paying a fee for it.
Will write in to check...
