I have an older Alienware Aurora R3 where most stuff in Dell is proprietary. Is it possible to use the optical drives and card readers in a new build? Is anything on an old computer a no-no to put in a new computer? Everything else would be upgraded and new in a new case. The tech friend said...

I have problems with graphics/textures in this game in Windows 10. Patch 1.2 installed.

Really simple question here with a seemingly illusive answer. What height does the Ryzen 2700X paired with the stock cooler (Wraith Prism) stand at? It shouldn't be this hard to find out, but somehow it is. Unless I'm blind and/or stupid of course. Thanks in advance for any help.
