Hey guys,
Registered to be able to ask this question, because imo this is the best forum for these kind of doubts and you guys reply super fast :)

So, here's the deal, I've been wanting to build a new computer, but was wondering if I could save some money by reusing the current power supply that I'm using. It's a NOX Urano 600W SLI and has served me well for the past 6-7 years.
Here's the part list of the pc I want to build soon:

CPU: Intel - Core i7-8700K
CPU Cooler: NZXT - Kraken X62 Rev 2
Motherboard: Asus - ROG MAXIMUS X HERO (WI-FI AC)
Memory: G.Skill - Trident Z RGB 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200
Storage: Samsung - 960 EVO 250GB
Video Card: Asus - GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 8GB ROG STRIX
Case: NZXT - S340 Elite (Black)

What is your advice? Also, if you think the current PSU isn't fit, please recommend another one! I am planning to overclock, so keep that in mind :)

Thank you so much in advance!

P.S. - If you have any tips on how to improve this build, please post them. I would love to hear them!

That NOX 600w will actually give abt 450w on the 12v, so wouldn't recommend overclocking. That's y the txm 650.
Since I added the aer fans, u can choose to go for x52 kraken. The inwin 101 supports only 240 rads.
But if you want 280 rad support, I think the 303c has it. Check it out.

The only thing I would say is either to keep the Asus Rog motherboard or even have the Z370 Fatal1ty, which both are superior to Gigabyte when it comes to overclock.

So the TXM 650 will cover the extra Watts needed for OC?
I guess I prefer the x62 because of it's larger radiator (which makes it have a better price to performance I believe). Also, the case has to be the S340 Elite because it's my favorite case.

Thanks for your reply!

Yeah, I heard it too. Specially on the Strix Z370 series. That's why I upgraded to the Maximus X Hero, because OC3D said it didn't have much problems compared with the Z370 boards and, if you're planning to overclock your cpu, you'll end up with a better board. That's what I've heard.
Also, people have been saying the LLC problems of the Z370 Asus boards have been fixed in the latest BIOS patch, so I'm still wondering if I should save a few euros buying the Z370-E or still go for the Hero.

Also, if I remember correctly OC3D has made sort of a little rant about the gigabyte boards (in particular the Gigabyte Z370 Ultra Gaming) because the VRMs were overheating like crazy, making it a poor solution for overclockers, specially due to it's high price point.
