The Disk Drive and Hard Drive I have I am also recycling from my old system as well

I wanted to consult the community to see if this build is stable or if there are any issues. I was using PCPartPicker but the case I have picked out is not part of their case list.

The build looks good but personally I'd get a better case and you may want to look into a SSD as it will speed everything up.

The build looks good but personally I'd get a better case and you may want to look into a SSD as it will speed everything up.

The problem that I ran into is that the case I'm looking for must:
Cost: $40-$70
Allow for ceiling mounting with the CPU cooler I have picked out
Allow for DVD/Disk Drives to be placed in

I couldn't find one that fit all those criteria on PCPartPicker or Amazon so I decided to pick the case I used for my current system.

As for the SSD I don't really care for it at this point as it would go over my budget

Your old system parts?
For the new parts , the only issue for me is the case as WildCard999 told.

I'm buying another case for this new build that is the same model as the case that I have for my current build.
The reason I'm doing this is for the fans that are included as part of the case, the ceiling mounting for the Liquid CPU Cooler, and the ability to insert DVD drives into it
The GPU and the PSU are getting recycled for this build.

High end air cooling will be quieter and just as effective as some AIO coolers.

I can use the case, but for the rest I'm trying to get everything I can off of Amazon for ease.
Also trying to use brands I'm familiar with.

Yeah that's a nice looking alt build wildcard

I waited until early last year to install an SSD in my current build and I regret waiting so long. Get an SSD. I don't play many new games so I don't have many games installed, but it's a simple matter of uninstalling games that you rarely play if you run low on space on your SSD. Another option would be to install your favorite/most played games on SSD and least played games on your HDD.

Better off with an external dvd drive. Dying format - haven’t used one for anything in several years.
