If you've already got 120mm fans and you want to go the AIO route, then I'd be tempted to look for something with a 240 or 360mm radiator just so you can use them. Either of those would fit in the 750D.
What's your primary use case? The Ryzen 7 3700X is about half the cost of the i9 9900K with the same number of cores, but tops out at 4.4GHz instead of the 5GHz for the i9 9900K.

If the 3770K comes back to life, then I can take my time and play musical cases.

As Flying Fox says, if you can enable staggered spinup you should be able to relax your PSU requirements. The steady-state power usage is going to be way lower than what it needs to initially get all those platters spinning if they're all starting up at once.

If it is the 9650se then it purportedly has staggered spinup. And Alt+3 seems to be the magic combo to get into the BIOS setup.

Apps like Acronis has that, or you can use the older style Windows Backup. You may be asked to create "rescue disk/disc" to let you boot into preboot environments for restoration, but I'm a bit hazy with details there.
However, I would say System Restore has come a long way, and saved me on a few occasions ever since Windows 7.
