Looks like a good plan, but I would do the cosmetic upgrade last.

As long as you don't damage the screws.
It is all relatively easy. The worst bit is soldering.
The bearing should make the biggest difference in my opinion.

Power supply has been just replaced
...and it has been a nice improvement, more than I would have expected

Just wait until you replace the bearing.

I am also very confident about replacing the bearing, which will be the last upgrade (apart from the aesthetic one)

My point is that if you think the PSU was good, the bearing will be better.
