Is this a good upgrade under my stupid earlier purchase?

Build Upgrade

Hey. So I recently bought an RTX 3050 6GB. Yes. I know. I am stupid, however I'm sticking with it now. My birthday is coming up and I want to upgrade further so I can at least get its max potential, I do gaming, but also quite a lot of video editing. These are the parts I am considering, please someone smart check it out. Also 300 quid is quite a bit for me, I can maybe go up a bit more but not like a massive amount.

I currently have a CPU Intel Core i5-9400F 2.90 GHz and 16GB of RAM that use up 2 of 4 slots at 2666 MT/s. And my motherboard is a H310M H 2.0

The parts I'm considering to swap too:

CPU =

Intel Core i5-12600K 3.7 GHz 10-Core Processor

New CPU Cooler =

Thermalright Assassin X 120 R Digital ARGB 70.84 CFM CPU Cooler

Motherboard =

MSI PRO B760M-P DDR4 Micro ATX LGA1700 Motherboard
