What should I buy first a Better HDD or a PC cabinet because my new Motherboard is collecting some dust now. and GTA V is lagging because of a slow HDD. Should I get performance first or dust protection?
And also is TPM header important?

As mentioned, full specs will be helpful.

An HDD or a Case/Cabinet serve fundamentality different purposes (akin to fuel or food? Both important, but context is needed. If you're starving.... then there;'s an obvious answer)

Some aspect of dust is to be expected., but if you have a cheap case with a lot of holes for ventilation (and happen to live in a dusty environment), a new case might be a good idea - but if you're dealing with a failing HDD (or just a slow 5400rpm), an upgrade there would likely be beneficial.

The TPM header is only important if you wish to use a TPM Module. For 99% of users no, it's not important.

If you have enough storage space in your current hdd then dont go for a new one. Slow hdd will only result in the slow loading of the game and not create much problem during gaming as it completely depends on cpu,gpu,ram.
May be the lag caused is because you dont have a cabinet and it is covered in dust which results in ineffective cooling of the components. Ineffective cooling make the cpu to run hotter which sometimes results in lagging.
So my suggestion first get cabinet and clear all the dust from components if you have enough room in hdd
