New Gaming PC with Reused Components (Will it work?)

tomcruise_1 · May 24, 2017

Hello, I am planning on upgrading my old System. I have been using this PC over +3 years now. It's working fine but I just can't get to play it smoothly (+60FPS) on most games. I think the issue is my CPU. Since its most of the times +97% in use in games.

My current PC Specs:
CPU: AMD Athlon x4 750k
Mobo: ASUSTeK F2A85-V
Memory: DDR3 8GB 1600MHz
GPU: AMD Radeon R9 200 Series (Sapphire R9 280x Vapor-X 3GB)
PSU: LC5550 V2.2 550w
Storage: Samsung EVO 850 250gb
Case: Antec Plus 1080AMG

My new PC Specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5 7600K 3.8GHz BOX LGA1151
CPU Cooler: CRYORIG H7
Mobo: MSI Z270 GAMING M7
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK8GX4M2B3600C18 8GB DDR4-3600 Kit
GPU: Sapphire R9 280x Vapor-X 3GB (Reuse)
PSU: LC5550 V2.2 550w (Reuse)
Storage: Samsung EVO 850 250gb (Reuse)
Case: Antec Plus 1080AMG (Reuse)

Would this be good and working also with the Reused components? I am of course planning on upgrading the Case and PSU and later on the GPU. But at this moment this Is what I can afford, would I be able to use it for at least 1-2 months with the current PSU and Case? Also in the future which PSU should I get? I would like a High-Quality one that is Cheap. I'm also planning on OC'ing the CPU and GPU.

Sorry for my bad englando, I'm from Slovenia.

Thanks in Advance.

It's a very poor PSU, really only claims 400w on the 12v rail and is low quality. Personally I wouldn't have used it in the first build and definitely would not risk new components with it.

Fine to refuse gpu and case though.

Not sure about psu, is it a good quality brand?
I suggest you skip CPU cooler and get decent psu first.
That motherboard seem expensive, you probably could save $30 - 40 by going cheaper alternative.

Thanks for the answers. Well, I have been using this PSU for years now. Never had any issues at all. Had tons of power loss in the past and nothing ever happened with the components. And about the CPU Cooler as far as I know I don't get a CPU Cooler with the 7600k. Would my PSU last for at least 1 month with the current build? Till I can afford a new one. And about the Motherboard, yes its quite expensive but I am planning it for the future upgrades of the CPU etc. It has neat features.
