Are you asking a question? We don't know your other components so we couldn't answer even if we wanted to. But we can say if the PSU is not powerful enough, it is unlikely to be due to the CPU.
You can also use a molex to 6-pin adapter and leave the two pcie connectors for whatever gpu you have/plan to buy.

Since the power limit is for the socket, if one part uses less, other parts can use more and still bounce off the limiter. What's the stock PPT ratio again? I think it is 35% over TDP, so at stock these could pull up to 230W. That 5.7 GHz needs it power from somewhere!
That GPU may/may not work. If you decide to use it, update it's BIOS first just in case it isn't compatible with UEFI. That said, if that's how you game, I don't imagine you to need a high res high Hz capable card and a mid-range or budget card would suffice. To that end, your 750W is, without a doubt, plenty.
For the most part, brand is a preference thing, really. Stick with the QVL list for the board you chose and any on the list should work. I prefer GSkill, like ADATA and Corsair. This is a new platform so some brands may have growing pains with certain boards (GSkill and Giga for Z690, for example).
I always say get the best you can/want to afford. While a Ryzen 5 should be enough for now and a marked improvement over what you have, 6c/12t is already getting long in the tooth to me...however, it depends on how you use your PC. You hang onto your PC for quite a while, so, I'd go Ryzen 7 7700X (8c/16t). If you're still worried about the PSU (you aren't listening/shouldn't be, lol) these are both '105W' (+35%) CPUs.
Ehh... I wouldn't bet on it. RM's, IIRC were higher quality than the Bronze PSUs.
I love my Hyte 60. It has a USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) port up front. I plug my portable drive in the back 20 Gbps port and it sits on top of the chassis.
Offhand, no idea... but if it fits AM4, it should fit AM5. Look at the specs page to see and/or contact Thermalright for confirmation. That said, the heatsink should handle the 105W processors fine, not so sure about the 170W+ ones though. For the latter, you may want to look into a 2x140 or 3x120mm AIO for best results.
Doesn't he have peace of mind already? Literally, the only thing a quality and properly functioning 750W PSU won't cover are flagship/400W+ GPUs (generally over $700 - 4080 may change that...). If he's into 2560x1440/144 or 4k gaming, that's his market and buy a new PSU. Otherwise, any midrange card will be plenty for 1080p 144+ or 2560x1440 60+ easily. As mentioned previously (and in Nebs thread), I ran a 3090Ti and 12900K on a 750W PSU without issue...that's not ideal, but it worked just fine for a month or two before I upgraded to a more efficient model (gold to Titanium, 850W). Notice I 'only' have an 850W for the best O D best O D best parts?
Tough to say for this gen... the motherboards aren't out yet. All four major board partners generally produce quality products (everyone has duds and studs). It's a new platform so which one will have the least growing pains, no idea. Gigabyte was the black sheep for Z690 (memory woes out of the gate, notably better/not a worry now), but maybe they nail it with AM5. Kept shaking the Magic 8-ball and got these answers - "Answer unclear, ask later", "Can't say now", and "Consult me later".
Pretty sure I just addressed the quality aspect of that and didn't list one over the other. The 750W bronze is a budget PSU, new or w/e while the RM is higher quality out of the box (I wouldn't expect it to turn into a low-quality unit with use/time). I'd run either one...neither will kill your system if they die so it doesn't really matter.
