They are from a previous build that I have. Would you recommend upgrading them?

MB + CPU - Fairly old hardware there... Look toward the newer Z270 chipset and the i5-7600k.
CPU COOLER - The EVO is ok, but check out the Deepcool GAMMAXX 400. It will provide a bit better cooling for less cost. Either are fine as a budget minded cooler.
CASE - The 750D is a full tower which is pretty large. You will be fine with a mid tower as well..
PSU - The XFX Pro will be fine and is a good unit. Also check prices on Seasonic and the EVGA G2 / G3 lineup.

That's a good budget to work with, and what do you plan to do on your system? Purely gaming?

If you already have them, then by all means use them. Skylake and Kaby lake are not significantly faster. I would get an evga b2 750, at the very least, and a cryorig H7 or H5 universal, for your cooler.
