If the old PSU has been well cared for and not over-loaded, it will be fine. It has a strong enough +12V rail for your build. I'm still using an ancient 850W XFX Black Edition PSU from 2009 in my Intel Build below. It has powered several gaming rigs in its lifetime.

I don't know prices in NZ, so I'll refrain from suggestions on what to improve for the money. But what you have will be fine.
