So I've been stuck with my old , horrible PC for a while now , and I've been wanting to upgrade since 2 years ago so here's my goal :
CPU : Intel Core i5-6400 [200]
Motherboard : Asrock Socket 1151 H110M-DGS [60]
RAM : G.Skill NT 8GB DDR4 Non ECC CL15 2400MHz [64]
GPU : ATI Radeon RX 480 Nitro+ OC 4GB DDR5
Power Supply : EVGA Power Supply 500W ATX 24 pin [65]
The numbers inside the [ ] are all in Euros , keep in mind I come from Greece therefore the prices here might be a little different . Also , I happen to already have a case (from the previously mentioned old pc) but I don't know if I'll need to buy a new one , same goes for the cooling . I also have my previous 500gb hdd
I want to hear your suggestions

In most cases you can easily reuse the old case and fans (I still use my case from 2007) as long as it conforms to the ATX spec. HDDs can be a little riskier to reuse depending how old they are, but if the risk of losing your data/games isn't that big of a deal to you (like me) it should be a fine solution.

Overall I think for a really low budget build you selected pretty reasonable components and you should get a good performer for your money. My only advice is to spend a little more on the PSU, as EVGAs 500w W1 and B1 lines aren't that great. An extra 10 euros or so towards something like a Corsair Vengeance or CXM would be money well spent.
