Hey guys so im looking to get into a ryzen 7 build and just had some curious questions, i currently have this computer AMD Athlon II X4 860K Quad-core Processor, overclocked to 4.3GHz with Arctic Cooling Alpine 64 GT. The pack includes the Orion Performance Base Unit and a power cable.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950 2GB Graphics Card
1TB SATA3 Hard Drive
24X DVD-RW Drive
8GB of DDR3 Memory
300Mbps Wifi; 600W performance PSU

and was wondering if i need to change anything i know i have to change my mobo, my ram for ddr4 and cpu but i was wondering would this be okay to use in my build and if not would i have to change anything

We don't know what your PSU's make...please include it. Outside of that, if your PSU is reliable, I'd say you're good to go!

You can certainly reuse graphic card and drives (assuming DVD drive is SATA too?). Possibly WiFi too, depends how it's connected to mobo. Don't know how about PSU, though.

this will work with the am4 but what is case case name and model you could get a 120 mm one if it fit in for better cooling .

cpu cooler max support in case is 155 mm so check this and ask for the am4 installation kit it is free http://www.cryorig.com/h7.php

this cpu cooler looks good if i need to get one, i was wondering is the r7 1700 stock cooler worth using to save the extra money? or is it a bad stock cooler

PSU is equally important as any other part. Thinking its ok is not good enough, if it isn't and it fails it could damage other components including your new parts.

Since you will get stock cooler anyway, why not check it out first. If you find it not good enough for your needs, you can then buy aftermarket cooler.

This. It's the most crucial bit about your PC that you need to know and you shouldn't be changing *anything* until you know what PSU you have and whether it's actually competent - a surgeon wouldn't do heart surgery without bothering to find out the patient's blood type. That the question seems like an afterthought to you (the OP) is a very troubling sign.

DSzymborski :

Yeh im not sure what the make of the psu is, if i unbox my pc to have a look should it have something on it like the brand name?

scout_03 · Mar 5, 2017

you find details on the psu case for name and model .

scout_03 :

Ok so i took a look at my psu, what i noticed is that it is 600w power supply it has the name aero cool on it and a fan inside with the logo aero cool it also has really nice black held together wires im not 100% certain but im pretty sure its this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Aerocool-Integrator-Power-Supply-Unit/dp/B00JKVHLIO

Blecch, not a good brand there, nor one of their less mediocre offerings either. Manufactured by HEC and full of low-end Chinese capacitors like Asia'x and rated at 85c instead of 105c. While usable in the short-term, it's not something that I would think about migrating to a newish build.

you could check for something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CP-9020097-UK-VS550-Power-Supply/dp/B00PGUSEBG/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1488819580&sr=1-1&keywords=power%2Bsupply%2B600w&th=1
